Iran’s state-run Press TV reported on Aug. 4, citing a senior Iranian official, that the U.S. government is attempting to obstruct ongoing talks between Iran and Oman over management of the Strait of Hormuz. The official said the negotiations between Tehran and Muscat have entered a “new phase” despite what he described as U.S. interference. On the same day, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters at the State Department that the Strait of Hormuz is currently the most urgent and closely watched issue. Rubio said the United States is involved in the relevant dialogue and negotiations between Oman and Iran, with discussions focused on how to enable more ships to pass through the strait safely in the short term. The statements present two different public descriptions of Washington’s role in the talks while keeping the focus on shipping through the strategic waterway.
