Iran has begun preparing a list of conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The move follows requests from mediators seeking clarity from Tehran.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei disclosed the development. He said mediators asked Iran to outline its conditions for reopening the strategic waterway.
Rezaei also revealed that Iran and Oman had reached an agreement. The agreement concerns a shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz.
The announcement came after Rezaei met Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. The meeting focused on regional developments and diplomatic efforts.
Rezaei said Iran does not trust the United States. He accused Washington of repeatedly weakening diplomacy and negotiations.
He also warned that any American action against Iran could have serious consequences. According to Rezaei, US military and economic interests could suffer damage.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Rezaei said Tehran expects practical steps from Washington. He said the United States must address Iran’s demands before reopening the waterway.
Rezaei stressed that Iran’s conditions must be fulfilled first. Tehran would then consider taking steps toward reopening the strait.
The Strait of Hormuz is a major global shipping route. It is especially important for international energy supplies and regional trade.
The latest discussions come amid continuing diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions. Regional countries have been working to create an environment suitable for negotiations.
Qatar has played an active role in these diplomatic efforts. Sheikh Mohammed also held talks with Iran’s foreign minister during his Tehran visit.
According to Qatar’s Foreign Ministry, the discussions focused on regional negotiations. They also covered efforts to create suitable conditions for further diplomatic engagement.
The talks included a proposed transitional framework. The framework is part of wider efforts to address the regional situation through dialogue.
Arab media also reported discussions about mine clearance in the Strait of Hormuz. A joint plan could reportedly be included in a future agreement.
Mine clearance would be important for restoring safe navigation through the strategic waterway. Such a process could support the movement of commercial vessels.
Qatar’s prime minister stressed the importance of respecting neighbouring countries’ sovereignty. He also called for freedom of navigation through international waterways.
Sheikh Mohammed urged continued diplomatic efforts to reduce regional tensions. He emphasized the importance of dialogue in addressing ongoing disputes.
Iran’s foreign minister thanked Qatar for supporting diplomatic negotiations. Tehran has continued to engage with regional countries during the latest developments.
The preparation of conditions marks another step in discussions over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran appears to be seeking specific commitments before reopening the route.
The conditions could determine the next stage of diplomatic engagement. Their details have not yet been publicly disclosed.
Iran’s position remains focused on practical action from Washington. Rezaei said Tehran expects the United States to fulfil its demands first.
The developments also highlight the importance of regional mediation. Qatar and Oman have both remained involved in efforts to facilitate communication.
Any agreement concerning the Strait of Hormuz could have wider regional implications. Safe navigation remains important for shipping and international energy markets.
For now, Iran is preparing its conditions while diplomatic contacts continue. Further discussions may determine whether an agreement can be reached on reopening the waterway.
