Hormuz talks positive, Oman says, as Iran warns deal would not open strait
英文原文 B2
Oman reported that it is having constructive discussions with Iran about an arrangement to protect a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Tehran stated that any agreement would not result in an immediate reopening of the crucial waterway. Both countries indicated on Saturday that negotiations were advancing, but a specific timeline for a finalized deal was not clear. Oman's foreign ministry cautioned against any attacks on shipping that might hinder the process. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, mentioned that talks were near completion, but the reopening of the strait was still contingent on additional conditions. Iran has essentially blocked the waterway, through which roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas typically passes, since the US and Israel started their attacks in February. The recent negotiations have centered on the potential for an agreement between Iran and Oman regarding a new route through the strait. Both nations would be responsible for this new path, and it is hoped it will contribute to the resumption of shipping traffic. However, Araghchi emphasized that a complete reopening of the usually busy maritime route was dependent on the fulfillment of other conditions, which he briefly discussed.

阿曼表示，该国正在与伊朗就保护霍尔木兹海峡航运路线的安排进行建设性讨论。然而，德黑兰表示，任何协议都不会导致关键水道的立即重新开放。
两国周六均表示谈判正在推进，但最终协议的具体时间表尚不明确。阿曼外交部警告说，任何可能阻碍进程的航运攻击都应予以警惕。
伊朗外交部长阿卜杜拉·阿拉格奇提到，谈判接近完成，但海峡重新开放仍取决于额外条件。自美国和以色列2月份开始攻击以来，伊朗实际上已经封锁了这条水道，这条水道通常有大约五分之一的全球石油和天然气通过。
最近的谈判集中在伊朗和阿曼就海峡新路线达成协议的可能性上。两国都将负责这条新路线，并希望它能有助于航运交通的恢复。
然而，阿拉格奇强调，完全重新开放通常繁忙的航运路线取决于其他条件的满足，他对此进行了简要讨论。
