Pakistan is trying to broker a new 60-day period for the United States and Iran to revive direct talks on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and easing sanctions after the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding window from June 17 to August 16 expired without a final deal. Field Marshal Asim Munir’s latest Tehran visit with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi focused on restarting stalled negotiations, which Iranian presidential spokesman Seyed Mehdi Tabatabaei called highly productive. Washington has signaled willingness to lift a sizable part of economic sanctions if the strait reopens, while Tehran still demands that Israeli ceasefire violations, mainly in southern Lebanon, stop first and that differences over Hezbollah and the Houthis be addressed. In a parallel track, Iran and Oman have reached agreements on their share of the strait and its revenues, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards spokesperson said via Tasnim, while accusing the United States of obstructing and delaying Oman-Iran negotiations; the sides had earlier outlined a temporary 7-mile shipping corridor that Tehran stresses is not full reopening until broader U.S. commitments are met.
