"The future of the Strait will not be like before. Iran and Oman will likely soon issue a joint statement regarding its administration," Araghchi said.
Iran cannot control the area forever, "but if necessary, the military will intervene" and "the sword will always be raised over the Strait of Hormuz."
Israel will withdraw from all its occupied territories in Lebanon as part of the ceasefire.
If obligations are not met, "negotiations on a final settlement will not take place," Araghchi said.
He added that "there are opponents of the agreement, led by the Zionist regime, which is looking for a pretext to derail it."
On February 28, the US and Israel began striking targets in Iran, killing over 3,000 people. On April 7, Washington and Tehran announced a ceasefire, which formally remains in effect. Negotiations between Iran and the US are underway, with the countries attempting to agree on a framework memorandum of understanding. The sides periodically exchange isolated strikes.
