Iran Issues New Demands for US Concessions Before Reopening Strait of Hormuz

Iran's national security chief Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr demands the US lift its naval blockade, withdraw military forces, and compensate Iran for damages before reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
These demands also include the release of frozen Iranian assets and a permanent end to hostilities.
Iran and Oman are reportedly close to a deal on managing the Strait, but reopening is contingent on US compliance with Iran's conditions.
