> Iran says reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on the United States making concessions on several demands. Tehran says it is not holding direct talks with Washington. It also says Iran will not initiate such talks while the US continues to breach an interim agreement signed in June. The position ties any renewed dialogue to compliance with that agreement.
