Iran says deal on Strait of Hormuz is close but will not open the waterway by itself
Talks with Oman are in their final stages, but Iranian officials say reopening the Strait of Hormuz still depends on U.S. compensation and other conditions.
- On Saturday, Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement declaring the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States "corrects its behavior," setting new conditions for reopening the crucial waterway.
- Council Secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr demanded the United States permanently end military threats, withdraw forces, lift port blockades, and "completely compensate" Iran for war damage while "unconditionally" releasing frozen assets.
- Separately, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that Tehran and Muscat are "very close" to reaching an agreement on a transit route, distinct from the council's broader demands.
- President Donald Trump said on Thursday that his team is "doing fine" in negotiations, though the United States has not yet commented on Iran's latest conditions for restoring Persian Gulf shipping.
- Negotiators face a 60-day deadline to finalize a deal, expiring in just over a week, with the agreement aimed at providing stability to global oil markets amid ongoing strait disruptions.
