Report: Potential US-Iran agreement could grant Iran authority over Strait of Hormuz traffic
According to a senior Iranian official and two regional sources who spoke with Reuters, a potential agreement between the United States and Iran might allow Tehran to oversee vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. One of the regional sources noted that the specific parameters defining this "control" are still being worked out. Previously, US President Donald Trump had asserted that the United States maintains command over the Strait by enforcing a blockade.
