Iran Urges US to Accept Demands for Reopening Strait of Hormuz, What Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Said?

Are you aware of the tense crisis currently unfolding between Iran and the United States? Now Iran is demanding that the United States meet its terms for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as diplomacy kicks in to end the eight month-long crisis between the two nations.

Here is the thing: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi feels that going to war or strapping on more economic sanctions is old hat. Diplomacy, and sincere interaction with Iran’s conditions and demands, is the way forward. “The only way is the language of respect, diplomacy and interaction with Iran’s demands and conditions,” Abbas Araghchi said while speaking about a 2-day proposal submitted by Tehran.

So what’s in this deal? Iran has agreed to allow the vital Strait of Hormuz to remain open again within two days, but on one condition. They are demanding multiple offers from Washington, such as an end to all conflicts, the unfreezing of Iran’s assets, the removal of oil sanctions and the dissolution of the U.S. counter-blockade on Iranian ports.

Elsewhere, U.S. President Donald Trump said that there is “positive momentum” for resolution of the conflict following a White House visit by Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. Trump said additional US strikes are “not very likely” at this time, but American forces remain on “high alert” and ready to attack if needed.

In the meantime, Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei is urging Washington to meet Tehran’s demands and end the war. Diplomats are trying to reach a resolution of the conflict via Qatar and Pakistan, which began in the last days of February following U.S. strikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Strait of Hormuz is an important element to these talks, due to its importance for global energy flows and world trade.
