Tasnim: Hormuz would remain under Iran’s authority under proposed US deal According to details reported by Tasnim News Agency and cited by Mehr News, a possible preliminary understanding between Iran and the United States would not restore the Strait of Hormuz to its pre-war status and would leave Iran's authority over the strategic waterway unchanged. The report said that if a memorandum of understanding is finalised, the main change would be the gradual restoration of shipping traffic. The number of vessels transiting the strait would be allowed to return to pre-war levels over a 30-day period, rather than any change in the legal or operational status of the waterway.
