# Iran says Hormuz will stay closed until US changes behaviour 2026-08-08T22:31:12+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US "corrects its behaviour", issuing new demands that include ending threats, permanent cessation of hostilities, lifting port blockades, paying war compensation, and releasing frozen assets. The statement came as Tehran and Oman said they were close to a temporary shipping arrangement, though Iran stressed full reopening depends on wider US concessions. The UAE accused Iran of an "act of piracy" after an ADNOC-linked vessel was hit by a missile in the strait on Saturday, with no injuries reported. ADNOC said 15 of its ships have been attacked since the conflict began. US Vice President JD Vance said Washington is working to secure a safe shipping route and may lift its blockade of Iranian ports once an Iran-Oman deal is announced. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - english.mathrubhumi.com - english.mathrubhumi.com - greaterkashmir.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Iran, oil, Oman, shipping, Strait of Hormuz, UAE Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-says-strait-of-hormuz-wont-open-until-us-corrects-behaviour/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
