Iran says it conveyed conditions to US for reopening Hormuz
Conditions include an end to the war on all fronts, the release of frozen funds and an end to the naval blockade.
Tehran has conveyed to Washington its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route, according to Iran's top negotiator. The two nations are currently in a stalemate following the Middle East war, which began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February. The Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that Iran's conditions have been clearly communicated to the other party through mediators.
He added that unless these conditions are met, it will be impossible to return to the pre-negotiation situation and restore the strait to its open state. The head of Iran's supreme national security council, Mohsen Rezaei, reported that Iran had similarly conveyed its conditions to the US via Qatar. These conditions include the end of the war on all fronts, the release of frozen funds, and the lifting of the naval blockade.
Iran has also warned the US against any mistakes in their dealings with Iran, threatening continuous, effective, and painful attacks against the country's bases and interests in the region.
