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 the US its conditions for lifting the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping lane for global oil and gas trade, according to Iran's top negotiator. The two nations are at an impasse in the Middle East conflict that escalated with US-Israeli attacks on Iran in late February. Iran has been controlling the Strait since then, while Washington is attempting to cripple the Islamic republic's ports and economy by pressuring its access.
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who has served as chief negotiator, stated that Tehran's conditions, including an end to the war, the release of frozen funds, and the removal of the naval blockade, have been communicated to the US through Qatar's mediation. Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran's supreme national security council, reiterated these demands in an interview with Al-Jazeera.
Iran also warned the US that any missteps in dealing with the country would result in attacks on its bases and interests in the region, according to state television.
