Iran’s Strait Demands Complicate U.S. Deal | Dublin News

Iran’s holding firm on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, demanding U.S. compensation for war damages, withdrawal of troops, and sanctions relief—throwing a wrench in last-minute talks with Oman. While Tehran claims to be close to a provisional shipping deal with Oman, it insists full strait access hinges on Washington meeting these tough terms, exposing deep mistrust. Hardliners within Iran frame the strait as strategic leverage, while Trump pushes for its reopening to ease fuel prices ahead of midterms. Rumors swirl of internal dissent, possibly including a hardliner’s resignation, hinting at leadership fractures. With final approval needed from Iran’s Supreme Leader, mediators remain hopeful—but Tehran’s new demands are making resolution far more complicated.
