        "content": "<p>The Iranian government is holding discussions with Oman concerning\nthe management of the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign\nAffairs stated that the United States is not involved in the talks.\n\u201cThese discussions have nothing to do with the United States. This is a\nbilateral matter between Iran and Oman, and the talks are ongoing,\u201d said\nIranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei during a weekly press\nconference, as reported by AFP and Al Arabiya on Monday (27\/7\/2026). He\nadded that the strategic waterway \u201cremains closed.\u201d He said deputy\nforeign ministers from both countries held talks on Friday (24\/7) and\nSaturday (25\/7) regarding \u201cgeneral principles and operational\nmechanisms\u201d to ensure safe shipping lanes through the strait. Traffic\nthrough Hormuz, a vital global shipping route, has been under Iranian\ncontrol since the outbreak of war with Israel and the United States on\n28 February. Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has in\nrecent days turned back several vessels, including six ships on Monday\n(27\/7) morning, that attempted to traverse the strait outside routes\ndesignated by Iran. The Strait of Hormuz remains a major point of\nconflict between Iran and the United States, with fighting resuming\nearlier this month after a ceasefire, as the two adversaries vie for\ncontrol of the strait. Iran insists on maintaining control over the\nmanagement of the strait, including the collection of service fees,\nwhile involving Oman, which also borders the Strait of Hormuz. On\nMonday, Baghaei criticised the United States. He said that US behaviour\nin recent years \u201cresembles a mafia gang that obeys no rules or laws.\u201d\n\u201cAs long as such behaviour by the United States continues, we cannot\nexpect a reasonable process to emerge,\u201d he added. Iran also stated that\nit is not currently engaged in negotiations with the United States,\ndespite a recent halt in fighting between the two sides. \u201cAt present, we\nare not engaged in any negotiations with the United States,\u201d Baghaei\ntold the weekly press conference, denying reports that Iran had\nrequested talks.<\/p>",
