IRAN has set several conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including compensation for war damages, an end to sanctions and the release of frozen Iranian assets, further complicating efforts to restore traffic through the strategic waterway. Iran has effectively restricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz since the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran in late February. The restrictions have significantly reduced maritime traffic through the strait, a crucial route for global energy supplies. ADNOC said on Friday that 15 of its vessels had been attacked in the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war, including three during the week. The previous Iran-US agreement provided for Iran and Oman to negotiate future arrangements for the Strait with other Gulf countries in accordance with applicable international law.
