Iran has said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States meets a list of conditions, including ending threats, withdrawing naval forces, lifting sanctions, and compensating Iran for damages. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that talks with Oman on a new shipping arrangement are in their final stages, but cautioned that a full reopening of the waterway depends on additional US compliance. The conditions were outlined by Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, who also demanded an end to US military actions against Iran's regional allies. Oman confirmed the discussions are ongoing in a "positive and constructive atmosphere."
