In a statement by secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr on state TV, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the U.S. "corrects its behavior," demanding a permanent end to the war including against Iran's allies, lifting of the naval blockade, withdrawal of U.S. forces, full war compensation, sanctions relief and release of frozen assets.

Why it matters

The list turned terms Iran had sought for a final peace deal into preconditions for merely reopening the strait.
