The chief Iranian negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has informed the United States that Iran has sent its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which a significant portion of the world's oil is transported. The strait, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is a critical route for global energy supplies and has become a focal point in the ongoing tensions between Iran and the U.S.
Ghalibaf, who is also the president of Iran's Parliament, stated that unless the United States honors its commitments, it will not be possible to return to the situation that existed before the negotiations began or for the strait to reopen. According to the Iranian official, the U.S. is currently imposing a blockade on Iranian ports, which has further complicated the situation.
Iran's demands include an end to hostilities on all fronts, the unfreezing of its overseas assets, and the lifting of the naval blockade. These conditions are seen as essential steps for Iran to trust the U.S. and move toward a resolution of the ongoing standoff. Iran's diplomatic efforts are also seeking support from other nations, particularly Pakistan.
Iran has announced that Pakistan's interior minister, Mohsin Naqvi, will visit Tehran to engage in discussions. Pakistan has expressed its willingness to mediate between Iran and the United States, potentially playing a key role in easing the tensions and facilitating a resolution to the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz.
