Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz, Sets Seven Conditions for US Talks
Iran announced it will keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until its seven demands are met, according to TRT World citing Iranian officials. President Masoud Pezeshkian is also due to attend the UN General Assembly in New York, TRT World reports. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint through which roughly one-third of the world's seaborne oil passes, according to international energy analysts. TRT World frames the announcement as a hardening of Iran's negotiating stance amid ongoing US-Iran tensions over nuclear and regional policy.
