Iran sets new conditions for reopening Strait of Hormuz after alleged tanker attack

Iran's Supreme National Security Council set new conditions for the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, demanding an end to US threats, cessation of attacks against Iran and its allies, withdrawal of US naval and air forces, compensation for war damage, lifting of sanctions, and release of frozen assets. This follows the UAE's accusation that Iran targeted an ADNOC tanker with a missile in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, August 8, 2026, though no casualties were reported. The IRGC stated that reopening the strait depends on the US fully accepting Iran's conditions.
