Iran says US signals readiness to resume commitments

Iran said on Wednesday it has received messages from the United States expressing readiness to resume commitments under the memorandum of understanding signed in June, but Tehran has not yet decided whether to re-engage in negotiations. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told state news agency IRNA that Washington's signals are being analyzed to determine if conditions allow for a stable diplomatic process. Gharibabadi stressed the need to avoid a 'vicious circle' of temporary agreements followed by military escalation, and said US compliance is necessary but not sufficient for progress.

Ormuz talks

Iran also said it is close to an agreement with Oman on a temporary navigation route in the Strait of Hormuz, which could last two to four months and partially run through Iranian and Omani territorial waters. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaei said the two countries have agreed on the route's geographic features and are finalizing a joint declaration. Source: eldiado
