The spokesman of the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that talks with Oman about the Strait of Hormuz have so far been useful and are fully bilateral. Ismail Baqaei added that these negotiations are about mechanisms for the passage of ships and have nothing to do with the United States.

He claimed that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has not changed and that it remains closed, and he blamed the insecurity imposed by the United States for that.

Baqaei also warned Britain. He said that the new British government was expected to behave more wisely than the previous one, but it has taken a worse path. According to him, the United States used Britain’s military bases in the recent war against the Islamic Republic, which is contrary to international law.

Baqaei added that the new British prime minister’s explicit statement of the matter is an acknowledgment of complicity in a violation of international law, and the British government must be held accountable.
