Iran rejects US response to Strait of Hormuz reopening proposal

Strait of Hormuz Iran-US tensions maritime security energy supply diplomatic negotiations

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Mohsen Rezaei, has characterized the United States' response to Tehran's proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz as 'insufficient.' The proposal, presented during the UN General Assembly, suggested that normal maritime traffic could be restored within seven days if seven specific conditions were met.

These conditions include an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, the lifting of oil export restrictions, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and a cessation of regional conflicts. While Rezaei noted that Washington has accepted some of these conditions through Qatari mediators, other points remain unclear, leading Iran to state it is 'no longer in the process of responding' to the US until these ambiguities are resolved.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global waterway, handling approximately one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas. Tensions remain high following military conflicts that began in late February, with Iranian military officials warning that forces will continue to strike vessels if necessary. Additionally, Rezaei warned that US technological infrastructure in the region, including AI facilities and data centers valued at over two trillion dollars, could become targets if hostilities resume.
