Iran sets conditions for reopening Strait of Hormuz, top security official Rezaei says
- Iran is drafting conditions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—key demands include ending the regional war and Washington lifting its blockade, paying compensation and removing sanctions.
- Tehran says it and Oman have agreed on a shared shipping corridor with a designated central channel, but the route would only be used if the U.S. meets Iran's terms.
- The strait once carried about one-fifth of global oil and LNG shipments, but traffic has largely stopped since the war—raising big implications for energy markets.
