Iran says Hormuz reopening depends on US accepting its conditions

Iran's Revolutionary Guard said ​on Saturday that re-opening the Strait of Hormuz is not related to Iran-Oman negotiations but ‌conditional on the ​US accepting Iran's ​conditions.

 

A US official on ​Friday reported progress between Iran and Oman that could soon reopen the ​Strait of Hormuz, ‌potentially restoring oil exports that have ​been disrupted by the five-month-old US war with Iran.

 

"The reopening ‌of the ​Strait ‌of Hormuz is subject to the specific mechanisms and conditions ​of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is ​not related to the negotiations between Iran ‌and Oman," Iran's Tasnim news ‌agency cited Guard's spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi as saying.
