Tehran issues drastic new demands for deal to reopen Hormuz, says US must ‘correct its behavior’

Tehran has issued drastic new demands for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, insisting that the United States must "correct its behavior." The demands include a permanent end to the ongoing conflict, the withdrawal of American forces from the Middle East, and complete compensation for war damage.

Washington has not immediately responded to these newly stated conditions regarding the critical waterway. The developments mark a significant hardening of Tehran's negotiating position amid regional hostilities.
