Iran has said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States meets a set of conditions it has put forward, according to Al Jazeera.
Tehran described reopening the strategic waterway as one of its main goals, the report said, without detailing the full list of conditions it is demanding from Washington.
Meanwhile, the United States has continued to focus its engagement with Iran primarily on nuclear negotiations, according to the same report, suggesting a gap between the two sides' immediate priorities.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important maritime chokepoints, linking the Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, and is a critical route for global oil and gas shipments. Any prolonged closure or restriction has significant implications for global energy markets.
No further details on the current operational status of shipping through the strait, or official comment from other regional or international parties, were available at the time of this report.
