[77101] Tensions in the Gulf: Iran threatens to end the naval blockade and an official claims agreements with the US

Tensions rising around Iranian policy

On May 31, 2026, conflicting reports emerged from Iran regarding its strategic and economic situation. Abu Saleh the Arab Desk, a channel characterized by a critical stance toward Iran and the American administration, reported that the spokesperson for the National Security Committee in the Iranian Parliament stated decisively that the naval blockade imposed on Iran "will end, whether through negotiations or through military action" (to the full report).

On a parallel level, a member of the Iranian economic team negotiating with the US claimed that within the framework of the talks held in Qatar, Iran received "guarantees to ensure Iran's access to released assets" (to the source). These claims come against a backdrop of uncertainty surrounding the nature of the diplomatic contacts.

Abu Saleh the Arab Desk, which demonstrates a line questioning the credibility of President Trump's statements on the subject, called on the President to "disclose to the public what kind of deal he has been talking nonsense about for weeks." The reports were also distributed by Israel News | No Censorship - The Voice of News🇮🇱, which present a narrative that casts doubt on the current US foreign policy toward Tehran.
