Iran to Recognize Hormuz

Iran is described in the coverage as asserting control over the Strait of Hormuz and refusing to publicly recognize it as fully open, despite US demands. Iranian officials have stated that the pre-conflict arrangement with the US will no longer be restored, and that Iran will retain at least partial control over the strait. Negotiations involving the US, Iran, and Omani representatives have reportedly led to a temporary 60-day understanding on the operation of the strait, although US intelligence assesses Iran could still block it at will.
