Iran outlines conditions for reopening Strait of Hormuz

Tehran has reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened only if Iran’s seven conditions are met.

Iran will agree to reopening the Strait of Hormuz only if all seven points of its proposed conflict settlement plan are fulfilled, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei said. 

"We have announced our seven conditions, which reflect the rights of the Iranian people. The Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until these conditions are met,”

– Mohsen Rezaei said. 

Rezaei said Washington has received Iran’s demands. Tehran is awaiting a clear and direct response.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Iran’s demands as "absurd." According to Rubio, Tehran’s position makes dialogue on ending the conflict impossible.
