Iran is preparing conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including ending the regional war, after mediators asked Tehran to specify its demands. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Iran had agreed with Oman on a shipping corridor through the strait, with sections in Omani and Iranian waters. Ships would use a designated central channel if the United States met Iran’s conditions. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have said reopening also depends on Washington lifting what Tehran calls a blockade of Iranian ports, paying compensation and removing sanctions. The waterway previously carried roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, but shipping has largely stopped since the war began in February. Ceasefire agreements announced by Washington and Tehran in April and June were intended to restore maritime traffic but did not hold.
