Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has said that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US agrees to change its policies regarding Iran, state news agency IRNA reports.
He has laid out conditions that include an end to military aggression and sanctions, calling on Washington to lift its maritime blockade, withdraw its naval and air forces from around the country, and pay for damages caused by two wars against Iran in full.
“The Strait of Hormuz will not open until America corrects its behaviour,” he is quoted as saying.
