Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until the United States meets a broad set of conditions. The Iranian Supreme National Security Council, described as a senior decision-making body, states that the strait will remain closed or restricted until Washington “corrects its behavior.”
Fortune reports that Iran’s list includes financial and political demands, such as total compensation for war damage. The reports indicate Iran frames the issue as a response to U.S. actions, linking any change in the situation to concrete steps by the United States. NDTV similarly emphasizes the council’s position that reopening depends on U.S. behavior being adjusted, but does not detail the full scope of the demands in its excerpt.
Across both outlets, the central point is that Iran is not offering a near-term timeline and instead conditions any opening on U.S. concessions. The difference lies mainly in how fully the outlets describe the specific items on Iran’s demands list, with Fortune providing more detail about compensation-related claims.
