TEHRAN, AUG 11: Iran will not open the Strait of Hormuz until the US gives in to its terms, says the head of Iran’s National Security Council.

The US must end the war — including in Gaza and Lebanon — release frozen Iranian assets, and meet the rest of Iran’s conditions, says Mohsen Rezaei, according to the semi-official Tasnim outlet.

A potential agreement on the strait between Iran and Oman will not guarantee the opening of the strait, he says.
