Claim 1: “Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has set out new conditions it says the United States must meet before the Strait of Hormuz can fully reopen.”

Claim 2: “President Masoud Pezeshkian has backed efforts to reach an agreement, saying at a news conference with journalists broadcast by IRIB that he believed “now is the best time for an agreement”.”

Claim 3: “Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of the council, said on Saturday that the strait would remain closed until Washington “corrects its behaviour” in a statement published by Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB.”

Claim 4: ““Whenever the United States accepts Iran’s conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will certainly be reopened,” IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi was quoted as saying by the semiofficial Tasnim news agency.”

Claim 5: “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also said on Saturday that reopening Hormuz depended on Washington accepting the conditions and was separate from negotiations between Iran and Oman.”

Claim 6: “The six conditions Zolghadr listed broaden the terms Iran now says must be met before Hormuz can reopen, tying the waterway to a more expansive set of political, military and economic demands than those set out in the June memorandum.”

Claim 8: “The six conditions include an end to US threats against Iran and insults to what Zolghadr described as the country’s national and religious values; a permanent end to attacks against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq; the lifting of the US naval blockade and withdrawal of US naval and air forces from around Iran; compensation for damage from what he called two “imposed wars”; the lifting of sanctions; and the unconditional release of frozen Iranian assets.”

Claim 10: “An unnamed US official told Reuters on Friday that the blockade of Iranian ports would be lifted once commercial shipping through Hormuz was restored “without impediments”, with US steps tied to Iran carrying out its commitments.”
