Iran prepares conditions for reopening Strait of Hormuz as mediators push to resume talks
Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran is drawing up conditions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan mediating. The US has disengaged from direct talks in favor of an economic sanctions campaign, while Trump claims the strait is already open. The June memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran unraveled, and both sides remain at an impasse over the strait's status.
