  "summary": "Iran has stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States agrees to certain demands. According to Newsweek, these demands include lifting sanctions, withdrawing military forces from around the country, and paying compensation for two wars.\n\nThe Iranian Foreign Ministry has held talks with Oman regarding shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, but a spokesman described these discussions as “separate” from talks to fully reopen the waterway, as reported by The New York Times.\n\nIran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, said the council would not back down in either war or negotiations, and that the US must correct its behavior to meet the demands of the Iranian people.",
