The removal of mines from the Strait of Hormuz is to be carried out solely by Iran, according to the Islamabad MoU between Tehran and Washington, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says in a post on X, in response to French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments on the subject, Reuters reports.
“Emmanuel Macron says France and Oman are working together to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East and will cooperate with their partners on clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz,” Gharibabadi adds. “The situation is sensitive and complex, we strongly advise France not to complicate it further with its provocations.”
