Iran has laid down six demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including an end to US threats, halt to military action, withdrawal of naval forces, compensation for conflict damage, lifting of sanctions, and release of frozen assets. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks in Oman for temporary transit routes are nearing final stages but stressed they do not amount to a full reopening. Revolutionary Guard spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi stated reopening is contingent on US acceptance of Iran's conditions, not linked to Iran-Oman negotiations, according to Tasnim news agency.
