Iran threatens to keep Hormuz Strait closed unless US accepts terms
Iran’s Mohsen Rezaei warns the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed unless the US changes its behavior and accepts Iran’s conditions.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei has warned that the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed unless the United States alters its behavior and accepts Iran's terms. Rezaei stated that the Strait will remain closed until the US ends its war against Iran and releases Iran's frozen assets held abroad. He mentioned that additional conditions have been communicated to Washington via intermediaries.
US President Donald Trump has previously criticized Iran's negotiating tactics, stating that Iranians are dishonest during negotiations with the US. He asserted that they agree to terms in meetings but reject them through media outlets. Trump expressed frustration with Iran's negotiation methods, suggesting that if the US had not taken military action, Iran would have developed nuclear weapons.
He claimed that the war against Iran was necessary to prevent that outcome and emphasized that the US is capable of striking Iran with significant force.
