Iran Guards say won’t reopen Hormuz without US meeting Tehran’s demands

Iran has imposed an effective blockade of the strait since the United States and Israel attacked in late February, and wants to charge tolls for passage, striking ships it accuses of attempting to circumvent its preferred route.

The report suggests that Trump had been laying the groundwork to declare victory in the West Asia conflict if Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the officials, Trump privately floated the idea to his senior aides.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday they would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, vital to the world economy, until the United States met Tehran's conditions set out the day before, including compensation for war damages.
