Iran has linked the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to US concessions on several demands. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
According to Reuters, Iranian authorities have stated that in order to resume operations in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States must make concessions on several demands. The specific list of demands has not yet been made public, but this step may indicate a new phase in negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital oil transit route, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman. Tensions in this region directly affect global oil prices. This statement by Iran could cause concern in international markets.
According to Reuters sources, Iran is likely to put forward demands such as the lifting of US sanctions, guarantees regarding Iran's nuclear program, and a reduction of military presence in the region. However, this information has not been officially confirmed.
The US administration has not yet responded officially. Experts believe that negotiations on this issue could be protracted, as the level of trust between the two countries is low.
Closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be a severe blow to the global oil market, so the international community is closely monitoring the situation. This statement by Iran could increase geopolitical instability in the region.
