Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States alters what he characterized as its hostile policies and fulfills several specific demands put forth by Iran. In his declaration, Zolghadr asserted that Washington must “correct its behavior” before the strategic waterway can reopen to normal traffic. The official outlined six key conditions that must be met for the resumption of unimpeded passage through the strait.
These requirements include the immediate cessation of threats directed against the Supreme Leader of Iran. Furthermore, the demands call for a permanent halt to all military actions targeting Iran and its regional allies. A critical point involves the withdrawal of U.S.
naval and air forces, which Zolghadr described as constituting a blockade against Iran. The remaining conditions stipulated by Iran include the provision of compensation for damages sustained by Iranian interests. Zolghadr’s statements outline a firm set of prerequisites, framing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as contingent upon international adherence to these specified conditions.
The announcement signals continued high tension regarding maritime security in the region involving Iran and the United States.
