Iran Firm on Strait of Hormuz; Sets Three Major Conditions for Deal with US
US-Iran Tensions: The US has halted attacks on Iran following the strikes that occurred 13 days ago. Subsequently, the Iranian military has also announced a halt to retaliatory attacks. With hostilities ceasing on both sides, hopes for negotiations have emerged. However, Iran has rejected any proposal for a new or alternative route through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has made it clear that it will not back down on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz under any circumstances; the maritime route will not revert to its pre-war status. Following the cessation of attacks, both nations are reportedly attempting to move towards negotiations. Against this backdrop, Iran has laid out three conditions for an agreement with the US.
Iran's Three Conditions
First Condition – Gaining control over the Strait of Hormuz before negotiations begin.
Second Condition – Recovery of frozen funds.
Third Condition – Discussions regarding its nuclear program.
Iran has informed its mediator, Pakistan, that it is willing to hold talks in Geneva, Doha, or Islamabad, subject to these conditions. This information has surfaced through various media reports.
Iran's Full Control Over Hormuz
The Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament clarified that the Strait of Hormuz would not return to its pre-war state. Iran will now regulate traffic along this maritime route. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed that Iran holds complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that no one can pass through it without Iran's permission. Six ships have been stopped in the Strait of Hormuz after being issued a warning. Meanwhile, negotiations between Oman and Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz appear to be moving in a positive direction. An official stated that further discussions are necessary to determine the outcome. All eyes are now on Donald Trump's stance regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
