Iran says conveyed conditions to US for reopening Hormuz

TEHRAN, Sept 21 — Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, announced today that Tehran had conveyed its conditions to the United States through mediators in an effort to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The two nations have been locked in a stalemate since the US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February, with Iran maintaining a blockade of the vital shipping route while Washington pushes its own campaign to target Iran's ports and economy.

Ghalibaf stated that Iran's conditions included an end to the conflict on all fronts, the release of frozen funds, and lifting of the naval blockade. If these conditions are not met, it would be impossible to return to the situation prior to the negotiations and open the strait.
