Lage im Überblick: Iran verknüpft Öffnung von Hormus mit US-Zugeständnissen
Der Iran und Oman sollen sich bei ihren Verhandlungen über die Straße von Hormus praktisch einig sein. Dennoch spielt Teheran auf Zeit und verlangt von den USA zuerst die Erfüllung von Vorleistungen.
Iran ties opening of Hormuz Strait to US concessions, weakens hopes for quick reopening. Iran's Supreme National Security Council links the reopening of the Hormuz Strait, a vital trade route, to six demands from the US. These demands include an end to US threats against Iran, a permanent cessation of war against Iran and its allies in the region, lifting the Iranian port seaplane blockade, full compensation for war damages, the complete lifting of all sanctions against Iran, and the unfreezing of all frozen Iranian assets.
Iran's National Security Council, which coordinates foreign, defense, intelligence, and internal security policy, is the highest decision-making body in the country. However, decisions are only effective after confirmation by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The council is currently in advanced stages of negotiations with Oman over new shipping routes, but direct talks with the US are not taking place.
US Vice President Joe Biden claimed in an interview with Fox News that the US is involved in the talks between Iran and Oman, but it remains uncertain if the US can meet the necessary conditions. Iran's demands have not been directly addressed by the US, but experts believe the US may resort to military options if diplomatic efforts fail.
