Iran reviews US response on Strait of Hormuz reopening

Strait of Hormuz Iran-US relations Mohsen Rezaei maritime security oil trade

Iran is currently reviewing a response from the United States regarding a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume negotiations. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that Tehran will communicate its official reply through intermediaries, including Pakistan and Qatar, once the assessment is complete.

Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, characterized the US response as “inadequate,” noting that while Washington has accepted some of Tehran’s seven conditions, others remain ambiguous or unaddressed. Iran has maintained that it will not reopen the strategic waterway to American vessels or return to the negotiating table until its specific demands are met.

The seven conditions include ending the US naval blockade and lifting restrictions on Iranian oil sales. A primary point of contention remains the sequence of negotiations: Washington seeks to address Iran’s nuclear program from the outset, whereas Tehran insists that initial discussions must focus on maritime security and the reopening of the Strait, which facilitates approximately one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas trade.
