Iran has asserted that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to navigation, while the US president Donald Trump He stated that an agreement to end the war could be reached "soon." These announcements come amid intensive, but still uncertain, negotiations.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi affirmed that this strategic maritime route, crucial for global energy trade, was fully accessible following the implementation of a ceasefire in Lebanon. This statement aimed to reassure markets and maritime transport stakeholders, amidst significant concerns stemming from regional tensions.
For his part, Donald Trump expressed optimism about the outcome of the discussions with Tehran. He indicated that talks could begin as early as this weekend and that a comprehensive agreement ending the conflict was close. The US president reiterated that Iran wanted to reach an agreement.
Despite these encouraging signs, differences remain between the two sides, according to an Iranian official. Negotiations remain complex, particularly on key issues related to the nuclear program and the conditions for military de-escalation.
Shipping companies, while reassured by the announcement of the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, continue to act cautiously. The stability of this maritime route remains dependent on the progress of diplomatic discussions and the security situation in the region.
In this context, the timetable for negotiations remains uncertain. While public statements suggest the possibility of rapid progress, the outcome will depend on the ability of both sides to overcome their disagreements and formalize a lasting agreement.
