Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, told the UN Security Council that Tehran remains committed to implementing the ceasefire agreement, including provisions related to the Strait of Hormuz, provided the United States fulfils its obligations under the agreement.
Addressing the Security Council on Thursday, Iravani said the agreement requires Iran to use its “best efforts” to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for a 60-day period, without imposing transit fees.
He said the arrangement provides for the immediate resumption of commercial shipping while military and technical obstacles to navigation are removed.
Iravani added that Iran expects its demining operations in the strategic waterway to be completed within 30 days.
