Iran ties Hormuz reopening to six sweeping demands as Pezeshkian seeks deal
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council laid out six conditions before reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including an end to US threats, a halt to attacks on Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq, withdrawal of US naval and air forces, full compensation for damages from two “imposed wars,” lifting of sanctions, and release of frozen assets—conditions that broaden the earlier memorandum and link Hormuz to a wider political package as Oman-brokered talks continue. Pezeshkian says now is the best time for an agreement.
