🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed until the U.S. meets its demands.
Mohsen Rezaei, Iran's top security official, says Washington needs to fully accept Iran's 7 conditions and actually follow through before Tehran will reopen the waterway.
And Iran wants some big things in return, including an end to the U.S. naval blockade on its ports, access to its frozen money, and an end to the war on all fronts.
Rezaei says meeting those conditions would open the door to diplomacy, but he also had a warning for Washington.
If Iran is attacked again, he says it will hit back with new weapons and deliver what he called "crushing blows."
So Iran is leaving the door open for talks, but it's making clear that the Strait of Hormuz won't reopen unless its demands are met.
