Iran says U.S. blockade "must be stopped" in the "very early stages" of any deal reached

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said the deal under discussion with the U.S. "is focused on ending the war. It includes provisions related to the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting or termination of what is described as U.S. maritime interference against Iranian shipping.""Certainly, in the very early stages, U.S. actions described as a maritime blockade must be stopped, and at the same time the Islamic Republic of Iran will take the necessary measures to ensure safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz. How exactly this will be implemented is a matter for us as a coastal state."
