Iran has informed the US of its conditions for opening the Strait of Hormuz
Iran is demanding that the US end the war, return frozen assets, and halt military operations in the region.
Iran has informed the United States of the conditions it will impose on the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, Press TV reported.
According to the Secretary of the Iranian Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, Tehran has conveyed to Washington through intermediaries the conditions that must be met in order to open the Strait of Hormuz.
Rezaei noted that Tehran demands that the United States end the war, return Iran's frozen assets, and also stop military operations in the entire region, including Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
The Secretary of the Iranian Security Council stated that the strait will not be opened until the United States changes its policy and accepts Tehran's proposals.
Earlier, the National Security Committee of the Iranian parliament approved a new bill that provides for the regulation of ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. This document provides for the prohibition of passage of US and Israeli ships through the strait.
According to the information provided in the report, in mid-June Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum that was supposed to begin the process of concluding a peace agreement. However, three weeks later, the parties again escalated the conflict.
In early August, Donald Trump announced that the next wave of attacks on Iran had been canceled in connection with the expected agreement.
He also stated that the Strait of Hormuz should be opened in the near future, and threatened to resume attacks if this condition was not met.
