BlockBeats message, April 5, according to Chinese CCTV News, Mehdi Tabatabaei, the deputy director of the Iranian presidential office for news and communications, made a stern statement on April 5 regarding the regional situation and the issue of passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Tabatabaei launched a fierce attack on U.S. President Trump and his policies on social media, accusing him of resorting to slander out of “desperation and anger,” and saying that his insane actions have sparked a full-scale war across the region. Regarding the control of the Strait of Hormuz, Tabatabaei said that the Strait of Hormuz would only fully reopen once a new legal system is established and all losses Iran suffered in past wars are compensated for using past ship-tax revenues.
In addition, according to a CNN report, details of the “possible plans” being discussed by Oman and Iran regarding the restarting of the right of passage through the Strait of Hormuz are emerging. An Oman source said that the relevant negotiations have been ongoing for about two weeks, with the focus on drafting a “safe passage agreement” to restore commercial shipping passage. The plan would require that oil and gas transport ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz register with Iran and agree to fly the flags of non-belligerent states. This effectively means acknowledging Iran’s jurisdiction over this strategic waterway. These proposals are seen as one of Oman’s last efforts to prevent further escalation of the war, given its abundance of energy resources. Oman previously played a mediating role between Washington and Tehran. But the source noted that promoting the agreement “is extremely difficult under wartime conditions,” and added that the best solution is still an immediate ceasefire.
According to PolyBeats monitoring, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability that “the Strait of Hormuz will resume navigation this month” is as low as 12%.
