> Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has set conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran is demanding that the United States end its blockade of the waterway. Washington, meanwhile, is seeking commitments from Iran to stop attacks on ships travelling through the strait. The dispute centres on whether those conditions can be met to restore passage.
