Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has outlined conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, demanding an end to the US naval blockade and compensation for war damages. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping route, and its closure has heightened tensions in the region.

US Vice President JD Vance responded by stating that Iranian leaders have assured Washington they have no plans to impose tolls on the Strait. The US is seeking a commitment from Iran to cease attacks on ships navigating the waterway.

The situation remains tense as both sides negotiate terms to ensure the safe passage of vessels through the strait.
