The initial agreement between the US and Iran reached on Sunday has already faced hurdles, amid Tehran's claims that it aims to control maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz as the war's victor, and Israel insisting that it would hold onto land seized in Lebanon as it battles Hezbollah.
After Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed in televised remarks that the framework deal put an "immediate end" to the war pending a "final agreement" after another 60 days of talks, Fars news agency stated that a legal framework governing navigation in the waters of the Persian Gulf would be established through cooperation between Iran and Oman.
