JAKARTA - US Treasury Secretary ScottBessentmengatakan AS dan Iran berpotensi mencapai kesepakatan untuk membuka kembali Selat Hormuz dan memulihkan kebebasan pelayaran bagi kapal-kapal komersial pada Selasa atau Rabu (5/8) waktu setempat.
"We are having talks with the Iranians. It is possible that we can reach an agreement today or tomorrow (Wednesday) to open the Strait of Hormuz and move towards a more normal situation in this conflict," Bessent told CNBC on Tuesday, August 4, reported by ANTARA.
Regarding the granting of permission for Iran to withdraw toll rates on the waterway, Bessent said the agreement would guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
"It will be freedom of navigation. Although the situation there is still somewhat tense in the last few days, we see quite a few ships coming out even to this day," said Bessent.
Previously, the US had asked Iran to guarantee freedom of navigation in the strategic waterway, while Iran insisted that navigation in its offshore waters must be under Iranian supervision.
Previously, on Saturday (1/8), US President Donald Trump had canceled plans for a military attack on Iran after mediation efforts in the region.
However, the claim was denied by Iranian officials who also dismissed reports that an agreement had been reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
