# Iran says Strait of Hormuz reopening conditional on US terms 2026-08-08T14:46:20+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said on Saturday that reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on the United States accepting Tehran’s conditions, and is not linked to Iran-Oman talks. Spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi did not detail the conditions but said the US must stop interfering in regional negotiation processes. The comments follow a US official telling Reuters that Washington expects an Iran-Oman deal soon, which could restore oil exports disrupted for five months. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Iran and Oman are “very close” to an agreement on a new shipping route, but added that reopening requires US compensation to Iran. A previous traffic separation scheme is no longer acceptable, Iran says. Separately, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company reported 15 of its vessels were struck in the strait since the conflict began, killing one crew member. Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping are compounding disruptions. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com - livemint.com Tags: Iran, oil exports, Oman, Revolutionary Guard, Strait of Hormuz, US Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-sets-conditions-for-reopening-strait-of-hormuz/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
