'No Delegation To Pakistan, No Hormuz Toll': Iran Pushes Back On Trump's 'Deal Done' Claims

Iran has clarified that it currently has no plans to send a delegation to Pakistan, while also shedding light on ongoing diplomatic discussions and regional security concerns, according to the country’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson. Tehran also clarified it has no plans to charge toll in the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking on a range of geopolitical issues, the spokesperson said Tehran has already reached conclusions on many of the topics under discussion in ongoing negotiations. However, he cautioned against assuming that progress automatically means a deal is imminent.

Deal not final yet 

“We’ve reached conclusions on many topics discussed, but that does not mean we’re close to signing an agreement,” the spokesperson said, signalling that significant gaps still remain before any formal understanding can be finalised.

On regional security, Iran stressed that any potential agreement aimed at reducing tensions in West Asia would need to address multiple fronts simultaneously. The spokesperson emphasised that the end of hostilities across the region, including in Lebanon, would form a key component of any broader settlement.

“End of war on all fronts, including Lebanon, will be part of the potential agreement,” he said, indicating Tehran’s view that peace efforts cannot remain confined to a single conflict zone.

Iran also addressed concerns surrounding the strategic Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes through which a large portion of global energy supplies passes. The spokesperson sought to reassure the international community, saying Iran does not intend to impose tolls on vessels transiting the waterway.

“We will not take tolls on the Strait of Hormuz,” the spokesperson stated amid speculation over maritime charges or restrictions in the region.

However, he added that while Iran does not plan to impose transit tolls, it is reasonable for certain services provided in maritime operations to come at a cost.

“It’s normal that services that will be provided would require a price, but should not be presented as tolls,” he explained, drawing a distinction between operational service fees and mandatory transit charges.

The remarks come at a time of heightened regional uncertainty, with diplomatic efforts continuing over security arrangements, ongoing conflicts, and concerns over energy routes. Iran’s statements appear aimed at balancing diplomatic signaling with reassurances over regional stability and global trade flows.
