Iran rejects US Treasury Sec.

BREAKING: Iran rejects US Treasury Sec. Bessent's and Trump's claim that the Strait of Hormuz will open tomorrow under a new deal, saying Iran-Oman Hormuz negotiations, held without US participation, are instead aimed at establishing an "intermediate corridor" that will halt both the current Iran-controlled northern and US-backed southern routes, giving Iran as a coastal state fully protected sovereignty, interests, and national security, an informed source tells Press TV. Iran adds "Trump has violated his commitments, and Iran is moving forward with its plan to establish arrangements in the Strait independently of US threats, and it will succeed," saying "Iran does not shape its interests and priorities based on schedule or demands of Trump." The agreement with Oman would grant Iran total sovereign authority over all inbound maritime traffic, with Oman's limited role being to clear outbound vessels but only after notifying Iranian officials, ensuring Iran retains visibility and the option to intervene.
