Svmuu News: U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated that Israel and Lebanon are close to reaching a preliminary agreement, but if Iran uses the funds to support its proxies, the deal will be null and void. The fact that U.S. Vice President Vance is leading the negotiations with Iran demonstrates the administration’s serious commitment.
Furthermore, following a meeting with ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said, “We held a very productive meeting. The Gulf states expressed some serious concerns. Oman indicated that it does not support the imposition of a toll system on the Strait of Hormuz.”The Gulf states are completely opposed to imposing tolls in the Strait. “Fees” and “tolls” are one and the same. Establishing a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz is not feasible. It is unclear whether the Iranian funds held by Qatar have been transferred, and the $300 billion reconstruction fund was not discussed at the Gulf Cooperation Council meeting.
If negotiations with Iran fail to yield results, Donald Trump has a variety of options. The United States is closely monitoring the situation in Israel and Lebanon. We hope Lebanon will have a peaceful future, and we are about to facilitate a memorandum of understanding between the two countries. (Jin Shi)
