  "account": "Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Mohsen Rezaei, announced on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen once the US ceases its threats and attacks against Tehran. Rezaei made this statement during an interview with IRIB, emphasizing that Iran's stance on the strategic waterway was contingent upon Washington's military posture towards Tehran. He added that Tehran is preparing a restricted maritime area beyond the Strait of Hormuz in the upcoming days, which may extend beyond the Persian Gulf.\n\nThe news of the Strait of Hormuz reopening comes after a series of retaliatory strikes between the US and Iran in the region. Oil prices have surged as a result of the ongoing tensions, with Brent crude futures rising 52 cents to $96.80 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate crude increasing by 66 cents to $92.14 a barrel. This escalation in oil prices highlights the potential for a prolonged supply disruption due to the ongoing conflict between the two nations.",
