Araghchi gives US conditions for reopening Strait of Hormuz

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented the United States with Tehran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, demanding an immediate lifting of the US naval blockade, release of frozen Iranian assets, and an end to conflicts across allied 'resistance' fronts.

Why this matters. Araghchi's explicit list of demands sets the baseline the US must accept or reject before any Hormuz reopening, directly shaping near-term oil-shipping risk through the strait.
