Middle East crisis live: Tehran says no agreement reached on strait of Hormuz as Israel strikes Lebanon

Iran and the US have not yet reached an agreement on the strait of Hormuz, said Ali Bagheri, Iran’s deputy secretary of the supreme national security council, according to Russia’s Ria Novosti news agency.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a security summit in Moscow, he said: “Until we agree on all the issues, we consider that we have agreed on nothing.”

He said Iran was negotiating with Oman on a new procedure for ships to pass the vital waterway, which has been effectively shut since the start of the war in February.

“Iran and Oman, as adjacent coastal states, are negotiating together to determine a new mechanism for passage through the strait of Hormuz,” Bagheri was quoted as saying.

When asked about Iran’s enriched uranium, he said it was “not on the agenda” in talks between Tehran and Washington, despite US president Donald Trump claiming earlier this week that it would be transferred to the US “immediately” to be destroyed.

Bagheri added that indirect negotiations are continuing.
