The Strait of Hormuz will ​remain closed as long as the US does not change its behaviour and accept Iran’s conditions to end the war, the newly appointed secretary of Iran’s Supreme National ‌Security Council said on Tuesday. “America must end the war, pay Iran’s frozen assets, the war ​must end throughout the region, including in Lebanon and Gaza,” he said. “If an agreement is reached between Iran and Oman regarding the transit route ⁠through the Strait of Hormuz, this agreement will be a matter separate from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.” Mohammad Mokhber, an adviser to Khamenei, also said on X on Tuesday that “the punishment of the aggressor continues, ​and the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until Iran’s conditions are met”. “We’re going to ask for money for the damage ​they’ve done over a 50-year period,” Trump said at the White House on Monday.
