Iran Demands US Concessions to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
Iran's Supreme National Security Council chief published a list of conditions Saturday that the U.S. must fulfill before Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
- Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr issued the demands via Iranian media Saturday.
- $4.02 is the current average U.S. gas price, up from $3.16 one year ago.
- Iran's foreign minister said the two sides are 'very close' to an agreement.
- Both nations signed a temporary ceasefire in June; talks later broke down.
Why it matters: The Strait of Hormuz is a critical corridor for global energy shipments. Its closure since February has driven fuel price increases and market volatility.
- Iran retaliated for U.S. and Israeli airstrikes by halting maritime traffic and occasionally striking ships attempting to pass.
