Iran says Strait of Hormuz will reopen only if US accepts Tehran’s conditions
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi stated the Strait of Hormuz will reopen only if the U.S. meets Tehran's unspecified conditions. Diplomatic efforts are complicated, as Iran and Oman are close to an agreement on a new shipping route, contingent on U.S. compensation. The U.S. expects a deal soon, which could lead to lifting its blockade of Iranian ports.
