Iran Presses Demands to Reopen Hormuz as Maritime Attacks Intensify
Iran’s supreme national security council says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen only after Washington ends its war posture, lifts sanctions, frees frozen assets, and compensates Iran, as talks mediated by Oman continue on a final deal within a 60-day window. Tehran also signaled progress on determining a transit route, blaming US policy for the stalemate. Separately, an Adnoc vessel was attacked by a missile in the strait, with UK maritime notices noting another projectile incident nearby; the attacks underscore ongoing security risks even as mediators seek to restore traffic through the strait and a post-interim agreement.
