Iran assures that it is “unlikely” that the US will carry out a new attack due to the “weakness of the enemy”
The Iranian government warns that passage through the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be "as before" after conflict with the US.
The Revolutionary Guard says a renewed war with the United States is unlikely, but vows to turn Iran's southern territory into a “cemetery for aggressors.” Tehran is prepared for any eventuality, he added.
“The possibility of war is low, due to the weakness of the enemy,” said Mohamed Akbarzadeh, deputy political director of the Revolutionary Guards Navy, quoted by the Tasnim news agency.
The official clarified that the country's forces are nevertheless fully prepared in the event of hostilities, "with full magazines."
Iran warns that passage through the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be “as before”
The Iranian authorities warned that access to the Strait of Hormuz, currently blocked, “will no longer be as before” and that, therefore, they have opened negotiations with the other country with access to said passage, Oman.
"Without a doubt, the conditions and regulation for transit through the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be as before. A totally different procedure will appear," Ali Beghani Kani, deputy secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said during an international forum in Moscow.
He added that “Iran and Oman, as neighboring coastal countries, are holding negotiations to determine the mechanism for passage through the Strait of Hormuz,” according to the Interfax agency.
Beghani also confirmed that “indirect contacts” with the US continue, although, he added, “they have not agreed on anything.”
Although Russia insisted today again on its proposal to deplete the Islamic Republic's enriched uranium, the Iranian diplomat assured that Tehran and Washington are not talking about these reserves.
The United States and Iran have intensified their contacts in recent days and are finalizing the details of an agreement that could end the war.
The Iranian chief negotiator, Mohamad Baqer Qalibaf, and the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchí, are in Qatar to discuss this agreement which, according to the Iranian press, would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions on Iran, but would leave the nuclear dossier for a later phase.
