Strait of Hormuz standoff: What conditions have US, Iran set to reopen waterway
Iran and the United States are at odds over the reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iran insists that a deal with Oman on a new shipping arrangement will not be enough to open the waterway, as it demands a broader set of conditions be met by Washington first. These conditions include an end to US threats, military actions against Iran and its allies, withdrawal of US naval and air forces involved in the blockade, compensation for damages caused during the conflict, lifting of sanctions, unfreezing of Iranian assets, and no interference from the US in regional negotiations.
Iran and Oman are negotiating a new shipping protocol, but Iran insists that the broader American conditions must be met before the strait can reopen.
