(Translation: this matter must be under the management of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all these conditions must be met before the restrictions can be lifted and the routes reopened).

The Strait of Hormuz is not a bargaining chip; This is Iran's sovereign right. The Iran-Oman agreement defines a new course, but the management remains in Tehran. No reopening without conditions. There are no concessions without reciprocity.
