Iran: If the US Accepts Our Conditions, the Strait of Hormuz Will Open

In depth

A senior Iranian official told Israel Hayom that Tehran and Washington are far from an agreement to end the war, and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen only after the US meets Iran's conditions. According to him, only after that can nuclear talks begin. The official also warned that Iran is prepared to respond forcefully to American strikes.

Behadrei Haredim reported that senior officials in Tehran are setting an ultimatum for opening the strait and threatening a broad attack on American and Israeli assets. According to Israel Hayom, Iran has succeeded in rebuilding its military capabilities and again disrupting shipping in the strait, while the Americans are trying to strike again at missile and radar installations. A source involved in the negotiations said Tehran is stalling in an attempt to convince Trump that the only solution is an agreement.

Walla reported that Iran's Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council threatened that the Strait of Hormuz will not open without full compliance with our conditions, and the speaker of the Iranian parliament said the ball is in the Americans' court.
