Iran demands US meet seven conditions to reopen Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian military spokesperson stated that "any hostile acts or new adventures in the region will not lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz," emphasizing that "the only path to reopening the strait is for the United States to comply with the seven conditions set by Iran."

The spokesperson added that "the Iranian Supreme Leader, during a meeting with military commanders, stressed the importance of a swift response to any aggression." These remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts regarding Tehran's proposal delivered through intermediaries, as Iran awaits the US response to its demands before moving to final negotiations.

Mohsen Haddad, editor-in-chief of the Iranian newspaper Vefagh, said that "Tehran is waiting for the US response to its proposal and insists on the implementation of all seven conditions before entering final talks." He warned that if diplomatic efforts fail and military confrontation resumes, it could close the door to negotiations with the administration of US President Donald Trump.

According to statements, Iran's demands include lifting US sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and receiving compensation for war damages, while Washington maintains that the nuclear issue must be part of any preliminary negotiations.

Meanwhile, the administration of US President Donald Trump is reviewing its options for dealing with Iran, including the possibility of resuming military operations.
