The Iranian Foreign Ministry categorically denied circulating reports regarding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. The ministry's official spokesperson explained that the scheduled meeting in Switzerland has been postponed to a later date, noting that the
electronic signing of the memorandum of understanding reduced the immediate need for an in-person gathering. The ministry confirmed that consultations are ongoing through diplomatic channels and mediators to pave the way for the next phase of negotiations aimed at reaching
a comprehensive agreement. In a related context, the Foreign Ministry dismissed rumors about inviting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect nuclear facilities, clarifying that the resumption of inspections is closely tied to the negotiation process and its outcomes,
which are expected to commence within the next two months according to the agreed-upon preconditions.
