Iran has issued six conditions it says the United States must meet before the Strait of Hormuz can be fully reopened, as President Masoud Pezeshkian calls for renewed efforts to reach an agreement with Washington.
Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said the strategic waterway would remain closed until the United States changes what Tehran considers hostile policies.
The conditions include an end to US threats against Iran and what Tehran describes as insults to its national and religious values, a permanent halt to attacks against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq, and the withdrawal of US naval and air forces from the region.
Iran is also demanding compensation for damage caused by what Zolghadr called two “imposed wars,” the lifting of US sanctions and the unconditional release of frozen Iranian assets.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said reopening the Strait of Hormuz would depend on Washington accepting the conditions and would be separate from ongoing negotiations between Iran and Oman.
Iran’s demands expand previous agreement
The new conditions go beyond elements contained in the June 17 US-Iran memorandum of understanding. Tehran is now presenting the demands as requirements that must be fulfilled before the waterway can fully reopen.
The latest Iranian position also differs from Washington’s stance. A US official said the blockade of Iranian ports would be lifted once commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could resume without restrictions, with US measures linked to Iran fulfilling its own commitments.
Pezeshkian calls for agreement
Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed support for continued negotiations, saying he believes the current moment is the “best time for an agreement.”
Pezeshkian said Iran remains united and strong and argued that Tehran and Washington should establish a mechanism to resolve disputes over alleged violations of their previous agreement rather than allowing tensions to escalate into another military confrontation.
He said Iranian and US officials are currently working to find a solution through negotiations in Oman, adding that Tehran hopes to move beyond the current situation of “neither war nor peace.”
The developments come amid heightened tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy shipping routes.
