Iran sets conditions for opening the Strait of Hormuz to the US

Iran has refused to open the Strait of Hormuz even if an agreement with Oman is reached. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said that understandings with Muscat do not guarantee the passage of ships. Tehran demands that the US unfreeze assets, cease military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, and fulfill other political conditions.

Iran has stated that it will not open the Strait of Hormuz even if negotiations with Oman are successfully concluded. The position was voiced by Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, who stressed that agreements with Muscat do not guarantee free passage for ships. The opening of the strategically important route directly depends on Tehran's conditions being met by Washington. Tehran demands the full unfreezing of Iranian financial assets, the cessation of military actions in the region, including conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, as well as the fulfillment of the Islamic Republic's other political demands.
