Iran has stipulated six conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global maritime passage for the transport of oil and gas. Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, the Secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security of Iran, stated that Tehran will not permit normalization of relations with Washington unless the United States alters its policy toward Iran and ceases issuing threats. Among the specific conditions outlined are the permanent cessation of American military operations targeting Iran and its regional allies.
Furthermore, the deployment of American sea and air forces in the area must also cease. Zolghadr asserted that the Strait of Hormuz (SAD) must “correct its approach” before the normal flow of oil can be restored. By setting these preconditions, Iran is effectively preventing the establishment of a mechanism to resolve the underlying dispute.
The demands highlight significant points of contention between Iran and the United States regarding regional security and energy transit. The continued insistence on these specific terms underscores the current impasse, suggesting that diplomatic efforts to restore full commercial activity through the Strait are contingent upon substantial changes in U.S. policy toward Iran.
