Iran has outlined its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement from Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The conditions include Washington correcting its behavior by ending threats against Iran and its "sacred values," halting military action against Iran and its regional allies, withdrawing US naval and air forces involved in the blockade, compensating Iran for damage inflicted during the recent conflict, lifting US sanctions, and releasing frozen Iranian assets.

Zolghadr affirmed that the Supreme National Security Council will not retreat from these demands, whether in war or in negotiations.
