Odaily Planet Daily, Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Rezaei issued a statement: “The United States is the maker of insecurity in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman. By imposing an illegal war on Iran, the entire region is put at risk. As long as the United States does not change its behavior and does not accept Iran's conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened. The United States must end the war, pay the frozen Iranian funds, and the wars throughout the entire region, including Lebanon and Gaza, must all come to an end. In addition, it is also necessary to meet other conditions conveyed to the U.S. through intermediaries. If Iran reaches an agreement with Oman regarding a transit corridor for the Strait of Hormuz, that agreement will be handled separately from the issue of the blockade of the strait.” (Jinshi)
