Iran Sets Seven Conditions for Reopening Strait of Hormuz, Resuming Talks with US

Iran has refused to reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz or resume negotiations with the United States until Washington agrees to seven conditions set by Tehran.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the next move now rests with Washington, adding that Tehran is awaiting an official response to its demands. He also warned US President Donald Trump against renewed military action, saying it would result in another defeat for the United States.

Meanwhile, senior Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei confirmed that no negotiations are currently taking place between the two countries. He also warned that US military bases outside the Middle East, including those in Europe, could become targets if used to launch attacks against Iran.

Iran’s key demands include the removal of US sanctions, the release of frozen Iranian assets, an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, compensation for war damage and a halt to fighting across regional fronts, including Lebanon.

According to ‘The Associated Press’, Tehran’s proposal suggests reopening the Strait of Hormuz on the sixth day after Washington accepts its demands, with negotiations on a final agreement beginning the following day.

However, Iran has not yet publicly disclosed the complete list of all seven conditions.
