Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, told Iranian media on Monday that the Strait of Hormuz would be administered by Iran.
"Everyone should know that the administration of the Strait of Hormuz will never go back to the way it was before the war," Ghalibaf said on his way back to Tehran after negotiations with the US in Switzerland.
"Of course, international regulations will be observed, but Iran will administer the Strait of Hormuz," he said.
Ghalibaf's statement came following talks with the US that all parties acknowledged had shown "encouraging progress".
In Switzerland, the United States agreed it would allow Iran to sell crude oil and petroleum products for two months, and said Iran would allow nuclear inspectors into the country.
