In a recent development, Iran has begun drafting a formal list of requirements necessary for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, indicated that these conditions, which were requested by international mediators, include an immediate end to the ongoing regional conflict. Among the core demands stated by Iranian officials is the total removal of U.S.-imposed sanctions, an end to the perceived blockade of Iranian ports, and the payment of reparations.

The logistics of potential passage are also under negotiation, with Tehran and Oman reportedly discussing a joint shipping corridor that spans both nations' territorial waters. While previous ceasefire efforts in April and June failed to restore maritime traffic through this critical energy artery—which previously accounted for nearly 20% of global oil and LNG shipments—officials remain in talks to establish a secure, designated central channel. However, the Revolutionary Guards maintain that no transit will resume until Washington fully complies with Iran's strategic demands.
