Iran-Krieg: Iran stellt neue Forderungen an USA zur Straße von Hormus
Die Verhandlungen zwischen dem Iran und Oman über eine Wiedereröffnung der Straße von Hormus sollen auf der Zielgeraden sein. Nun stellt Teheran Bedingungen, die für die USA inakzeptabel sein dürften.
Iran has presented fresh demands to the United States regarding the reopening of the Hormuz Strait, according to a statement from the country's National Security Council, published by Iranian state media. The U.S., the statement asserts, will never again threaten the Islamic Republic. Moreover, it must cease the war against Iran and its allies in the region.
The National Security Council, the highest decision-making body in the country, is led by President Masoud Pezeshkian and is overseen by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The council also demanded that the U.S. lift the maritime blockade on Iranian ports, withdraw its forces from the area, compensate Iran for war damages, lift sanctions, and release frozen assets "unconditionally."
These demands will not be compromised, the council stated. The U.S. has not yet responded directly. Iran had previously mentioned these demands as conditions for a permanent agreement with the U.S., including the country's nuclear program. Now, they are being made as conditions for an agreement that only aims to reopen the Hormuz Strait.
The last time both Iran and the U.S. spoke of a possible agreement was for the resumption of free shipping traffic in the Hormuz Strait. Iran claims to be negotiating directly with Oman, the neighboring country on the other side of the Persian Gulf, on how to regulate ship passages in the blocked strait. Both countries have declared an imminent agreement is near.
