Iran's Fars News Agency reported on the 2nd, citing sources, that the plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is purely a rumor. A relevant source said that no agreement has been reached yet on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and reports on this matter are purely rumors.

Another informed military source emphasized that as long as the United States continues to take hostile actions, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed, ships can only pass through the announced routes, and must obtain permission from the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy to pass.  

Earlier that day, Israel's Channel 12 television reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghchi had overnight agreed to a plan proposed by the US and Qatar to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which prompted US President Trump to cancel the planned attack on Iran.Editor/Min Jing
