Tehran has sent Washington, through intermediaries, a list of seven tough demands that must be met before shipping can resume through the Strait of Hormuz, the Tasnim news agency reports, according to infohub.kz.
According to the outlet, the southern route through the strait remains closed even as the United States insists it be reopened. It has also emerged that Iran and Oman have agreed on the details of new routes in the strait.
The demands are based on principles previously set out by Iran's Security Council. Tehran's list of key conditions includes the following points:
An end to military threats from the United States and its allies.
An end to the war and all acts of aggression in the region.
A complete lifting of the naval blockade of Iranian ports.
A full repeal of the sanctions imposed on Iran.
The unfreezing of all Iranian assets blocked abroad.
Payment of compensation for damage inflicted on the country's economy and infrastructure.
An end to US attacks and guarantees for the safety of shipping that take Tehran's interests into account.
Iranian officials stressed in particular that the recent agreement with Oman on creating a joint route and a temporary corridor is only a partial solution and does not mean the strait will automatically reopen. A full resumption of shipping now depends entirely on Washington's willingness to make concessions and meet Iran's demands.
Recall that on September 6, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, said the Strait of Hormuz was completely closed to shipping.
Earlier, Kursiv wrote that US President Donald Trump said when the war with Iran would end.
