Iranian National Security Council Secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr stated that unless the U.S. modifies its behavior, the Strait will remain closed. His demands include halting threats against Iran, ending hostilities with several Middle Eastern entities, lifting sanctions, removing military forces from around Iran, paying damages for past conflicts, and unfreezing Iranian assets. These conditions threaten to disrupt efforts between Iran and Oman to reopen the Strait for commerce, with Iran tying any agreement to the U.S. response. Meanwhile, U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump, have expressed optimism about the negotiations, with Trump suggesting that a deal might be imminent.
