Iran Guards say will not reopen Hormuz without US meeting Tehran's demands
Iran says the strait will stay closed until Washington lifts sanctions, ends military pressure and pays compensation, as talks with Oman near a final stage.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday a deal with Oman defining new Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes is in its "final stages," though Tehran will only reopen the waterway once the United States meets specific conditions.
- The United States and Israel launched air strikes on Iran more than five months ago, prompting Tehran to block the strait. Despite a June ceasefire, Washington reimposed a blockade on Iranian shipping in July, violating the truce.
- Conditions for reopening include U.S. compensation for widespread attacks, ending military threats, and lifting sanctions, according to Iranian security official Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr. Iran refuses direct talks while Washington breaches the interim agreement.
- President Donald Trump stated the U.S. is "low-keying" negotiations while monitoring Iran's economic struggles. Houthi rebels attacked Saudi Aramco's Jazan refinery on Sunday, escalating regional instability after the kingdom signed a defense pact with Turkey and Pakistan.
- Ultimate decision-making in Iran rests with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has remained out of public view since a February 28 air strike. His position represents the final hurdle for any potential resolution.
