Iran works on conditions to reopen Strait of Hormuz amid US sanctions dispute
Iran is working on conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to statements from its Revolutionary Guard, while the US denies current negotiations with Tehran. The strait remains largely blocked by Iranian threats and attacks on ships. The Revolutionary Guard says Iran and Oman agreed on their shares of the strait and passage revenues, but the US is hindering talks. Iran stated the strait will not open unless the US accepts its conditions, while Oman and Iran have agreed on a temporary shipping route and mine-clearing project. The US has cleared all mines in international waters of the strait, with President Trump threatening to destroy any vessels laying new mines. Iran has also denied reports of assassination plots against Trump's son Barron, while the Secret Service confirmed investigating an Iranian video threatening him.
