Iran Ready To Open Hormuz, But Sets 3 Conditions For The US

Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz, but the United States of America must lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports, return the funds, amounting to $15 billion, frozen by the West and also, lift the sanctions, in place for years, Kazem Gharibabadi, the deputy minister of foreign affairs of Iran said today. “Iran is ready to open the Strait of Hormuz,” the minister said, but after a 40-day war, which has left 4,000 Iranians dead, including many civilians, “we can’t be good guys, we can’t allow the Strait of Hormuz to be opened and ships to sail smoothly…Hormuz can’t be opened for the whole world except Iran,” he said.
