Iran has set preconditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for the world economy. According to RTE News, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said discussions with Oman over transit and management of the strait were approaching the final stages, but the reopening is subject to other conditions and compensation for the violation of a June agreement.
Security chief Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr outlined a list of demands, including an end to the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq, the lifting of a parallel US naval blockade, the end of sanctions, the release of frozen assets, and compensation for wartime damage, as reported by RTE News.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and other officials have stated that a deal with Oman on control of the Strait of Hormuz is close, but it would not be enough to free up the waterway, RTE News and Daily Times reported.
