Iran says a deal related to the Strait of Hormuz is close, but it will not reopen the waterway on its own, according to reporting cited by Investing.com and Yahoo News. The remarks indicate Iran views any changes to access or navigation as dependent on a broader agreement rather than a unilateral decision.
The outlets present the same core message: Iran frames the negotiations as nearing completion while emphasizing that opening the strait will require mutual steps or an overall settlement. While details of the terms or timelines are not specified in the brief excerpts provided, the accounts align on Iran’s position that the strait will not be reopened automatically and that coordination with other parties is required.
Overall, the difference across sources appears limited to how the statement is packaged rather than the substance of the claim. Both reports focus on Iran’s stance that progress toward a deal is underway, while stressing that the waterway’s status will not change without agreement beyond Iran’s own actions.
