Fearless Iran has a dramatic new list of eight demands that the United States must follow to reach Donald Trump’s goal of reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The crucial waterway has been closed for much of the time since the war on Iran began in late February.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States ‘corrects its behavior’, with new conditions to reopen the waterway.
This comes after an allied vessel linked to Abu Dhabi was simultaneously struck by an Iranian missile.
The head of Iran’s SNSC, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, has given the list that includes some previously unheard of requests.
The conditions to be met are: Pledge never to threaten or insult Iran again in any language; Permanently end the war with Iran and its regional armed allies;
Lift the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports; Withdraw U.S. military forces from the surrounding area; Completely compensate Iran for war damages and losses;
Lift all economic sanctions against Iran; Unconditionally release frozen Iranian assets; and to halt all allied and U.S. military attacks on Iranian proxies in the region.
Many have been previously brought up, including ending the war permanently, stopping the US Naval blockade, withdrawing military forces.
From there, Zolghadr wants the US end sanctions on Tehran, unfreeze Iranian assets and even pay reparations to the Iranians to reopen the strait.
The US would also have to stop threatening and insulting Iran and end all military action against Iranian allies in the region, state news agency Islamic Republic News Agency reports.
Zolghadr, who is also a commander in the powerful Revolutionary Guard, reports directly to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who is currently mulling over a deal with Oman to manage the strait.
