‘Full compensation, correct behaviour by US’: Iran's new demands to open Strait of Hormuz amid West Asia conflict
Iran's demands include lifting of the naval blockade by the US on Iranian ports and withdrawal of the American military from the region.
Iran has presented a list of new demands to ensure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial trade waterway that has been a major point of contention in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States. The Strait, effectively under Iranian control, will only reopen when the US corrects its behavior, according to Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
The demands include no threats by the US, permanent end to the war with Iran and its allies in the West Asia region, lifting of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports, withdrawal of American military from the region, and "full compensation" for damages caused in Iran due to the war. The US has not yet responded to Iran's demands, waiting for Iran to reach a deal to open the Strait before lifting its naval blockade. The Strait of Hormuz, running between Oman and Iran, controls around 20% of the world's oil trade.
