Iran has maintained the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, demanding that the United States fulfill a sweeping list of conditions before the crucial waterway is reopened. Among the key Iranian demands is the payment of financial reparations to cover war damages resulting from five months of U.S. and Israeli bombardments.
