Axios reported on October 26, 2026, citing an informed source, that American negotiators, during indirect talks with Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, informed him that Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz and therefore cannot set conditions for reopening this waterway.

Araghchi had presented Tehran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming nuclear negotiations to the American side during these talks. According to the Islamic Republic's proposal, Tehran was willing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear negotiations within a week, provided that the U.S. lifts the maritime blockade of Iranian ports, removes oil sale sanctions, and reinstates a ceasefire across the region.

According to Axios, American negotiators informed the Iranian side on Tuesday during these discussions that the Islamic Republic does not control the Strait of Hormuz and therefore cannot set conditions regarding its reopening.

Currently, dozens of oil tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily under U.S. protection, transporting millions of barrels of oil to global markets. However, the volume of oil transfer remains significantly lower than pre-war levels.

American officials say that approximately 60 million barrels of oil have been transported through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 72 hours.

Meanwhile, Qatar and other regional mediators are working to resume negotiations between Tehran and Washington, but the differences between the two sides on key issues remain wide. The Islamic Republic wants to focus negotiations on the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. maritime blockade, while the Trump administration emphasizes obtaining nuclear concessions from Tehran.
