The spokesman of the foreign agency was speaking with reporters on the state TV and he was saying that discussions are taking place.
The spokesman, however, stressed that this is not because of US threats.
These talks have been ongoing for seven or eight days and they're just now close to completion.
on choosing a route for the ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Another route close to the northern side, closer to Iran, neither to the south, but some middle route.
But there's been intense diplomatic scrambling behind the scenes now ever since these reports came out that the U.S.
and Israel intend to attack Iran's infrastructure.
So we don't know whether this is related to those threats or whether, as they say, it just was an ongoing talks and now it's reached almost, as the foreign minister said, its final stages.
The memorandum of understanding that they had, which established the ceasefire and it held up for just a few weeks, that was written with...
sentences and statements that were open to interpretation.
Iran was to decide the arrangements for the passing of the ships, but that could have meant anything.
Apparently, during that time, the Americans tried to establish a route through Oman, and that freaked the Iranians out, and they started attacking those ships.
Now, the U.S.
is saying, no, Iranian control doesn't mean that they can get tolls and they can charge ships for passing through.
So whether they can go back to that memorandum of understanding, given that the
gone at each other's throats again, and there's so much distrust, that remains to be seen.
But nerves are on edge in Iran.
I've heard some people say that, you know, Iranians don't believe Donald Trump anymore when he threatens to destroy their infrastructure.
That may be the case for some, but let's not...
downplay this because a lot of people, when they hear Donald Trump saying that they would destroy power plants and electricity, these are hospitals, schools, businesses that rely on electricity.
