Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on Saturday demanded the United States meet six conditions before reopening the Strait of Hormuz, complicating negotiations despite earlier reports that a deal with Oman on shipping arrangements was near.

The council, led by President Masoud Pezeshkian and overseen by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, said the U.S. must never threaten Iran, end all wars against Iran and its regional allies, lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports, withdraw U.S. forces from the area, pay full war damages, lift sanctions, and unconditionally release frozen Iranian assets. A council statement carried by state media said these demands were non-negotiable and that the strait would remain closed until Washington “corrects its behavior” .

The Revolutionary Guards reinforced the position on Sunday, with spokesman Hossein Mohebi stating the strait “is now actually a theatre of war for us and not just a waterway” and that it would stay shut until all Iranian conditions were accepted .

Oman’s Foreign Ministry said talks with Iran on navigation in the strait were advancing in a “positive and constructive atmosphere” and urged all parties to avoid actions that could undermine the process . However, the United Arab Emirates reported that Iran launched a missile attack on one of its vessels in the strait on Saturday, with state news agency WAM confirming the incident was under control .

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Washington expects Iran to restore oil and gas flows through the strait to pre-conflict levels and ensure safe passage for commercial vessels, adding that Iran had communicated its intention to comply while the U.S. maintains a “trust but verify” stance .

The demands echo conditions Iran previously set for a broader agreement with the U.S., but they are now tied specifically to reopening the strait. Iran and Oman had finalized an agreement on geographic coordinates for a shipping route on Aug. 6, with ships entering the Persian Gulf through a northern lane in Iranian waters and exiting via a southern lane in Omani waters . Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei had stated at the time that the deal alone would not guarantee security in the strait.

— 🇮🇷 Irans Supreme National Security Council: Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened. Correcting behavior means: 1. Never threaten Iran with any language nor insult the sanctities of this nation. 2. End the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq permanently. 3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw U.S. naval and air forces from the area surrounding Iran. 4. Pay the damages for the two aggressive wars imposed against Iran. 5. Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation. 6. Release the frozen and stolen assets of the Iranian people unconditionally. These are the demands of the Iranian people who have been relentlessly present in the squares and streets for 160 days. The Supreme National Security Council will never back down; whether in war or in negotiations. @Middle_East_Spectator
