Iran Names Conditions for Reopening Hormuz, Calls US Sanctions 'Economic Terrorism' and Urges Global Pushback

Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Iran is compiling a formal list of conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz after mediators asked Tehran to set them out, and confirmed Iran agreed to a temporary shipping corridor with Oman if the US meets Iran's terms: 'The US must first take practical steps to fulfil Iran's conditions, and then Iran will proceed to open the Strait of Hormuz.' An IRGC spokesperson told IRNA the conditions include an end to the regional war, lifting the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, compensation for war damages, and removal of sanctions, alongside implementation of the Iran-Oman corridor and joint mine-clearing project. Separately, Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling the newly launched 'Operation Economic Outcast' sanctions package 'an international crime and a crime against humanity' designed to 'inflict suffering on the Iranian people,' urging 'all countries' to refrain from implementing the measures and warning that compliance would amount to 'complicity in imposing one state's unlawful will on independent states.' President Trump reiterated he has 'no time schedule, none — I'm not in a hurry' to resume talks, and the White House said the US is focused on economic pressure rather than negotiations. CNBC characterized Iran's posture as calling for global pushback against the sanctions while signaling diplomacy 'isn't impossible.'
