Tehran has announced the conditions under which the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will be lifted.

Iranian authorities have named the preconditions under which Tehran might agree to open unimpeded shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the Iranian news agency Tasnim, Tehran is demanding the complete withdrawal of American troops and the closure of military bases in the Middle East, the return of Iranian assets frozen in the West, the guaranteed lifting of sanctions, and the development of international trade denominated in non-dollar currencies.



Meanwhile, following the lead of other US NATO allies, German authorities are flatly refusing to send their warships to the Strait of Hormuz. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Berlin's NATO commitments are limited exclusively to the alliance's eastern flank and the Atlantic and do not extend to the Middle East.

Although Berlin fully shares the US and Israel's anti-Iranian stance and also believes that the "mullahs' regime" must be ended, Pistorius notes that the precise means by which to overthrow the Iranian government "remains a subject of debate." The German Defense Minister is dissatisfied that the US and Israel, who, before the escalation of the Middle East crisis, limited themselves to what Pistorius considers relatively restrained criticism of Iran, are now seeking to draw almost the entire NATO bloc into the conflict. Pistorius, cautious in the case of Iran, believes that sending additional warships is unlikely to contribute to a task that even the US Navy has been unable to accomplish.

Currently, only Estonia, of all alliance members, has agreed to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz. However, according to Estonian Foreign Minister Tsakhna, Tallinn needs to know the US's ultimate goals in the Middle East and Trump's plan for achieving them.

      hi I consider the conditions announced by the Iranian side to be overly lenient.
      When the Iranian side contacts the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Kremlin, we can advise our Iranian friends to supplement their demands:
      somehow, the subsequent demands and conditions of the deal after the agreed time will only become harsher and worse for the Zionists and the Paper Tiger, replacing the peaceful negotiation track with a military strategic defeat and the end of the existence of the Zionist state on Palestinian land.

    Who's going to transport the Estonian fleet to the Strait of Hormuz? If it weren't for the Estonians, I'd assume they'd be flown there. Both boats. But as it is... They won't be able to keep up with the plane. request

      I'm afraid you're overflowing with unjustified optimism. Iran may be able to run the 100-meter dash with flying colors, but by launching attacks on neighboring countries, it's only securing a marathon it can't complete.
      There is no point now in counting who shot down/sank what and how much.
      This is all the US and its allies need to justify more widespread action.
      Iran has virtually no chance of organizing a fight in this war due to the disparate balance of power and the obvious superiority of its opponents. The situation is further exacerbated by the virtual inaction of its largest "strategic partners"—Russia and China, which theoretically could have helped strengthen the country's defenses but have not done so.

    The day before yesterday I watched Fox news.
    It's pure joy – huge profits for American oil companies, apparently an extra 5 billion a day. Investment in two pipelines – oil and gas – has increased sharply; construction is underway at a breakneck pace.
    Overall, there is deep joy from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

    As Jerzy Lec put it, "In reality, everything is not as it really is."

                You don't understand the situation in the States at all.
                There, Trump will be accused of eating babies, not just showing strange prices. Which are easy to check online (if it works). Moreover, you can look at the map at every gas station – there are plenty of sources. Actually, that's exactly what I'm urging you to do – don't trust any information unless you can thoroughly verify it yourself. I've given you the link, and you can find a dozen yourself.
                Regarding "everything is fine" - how can everything be fine in a country with such heated passions and the level of hatred among political opponents???
                At the same time, think for yourself.
                The United States is the world's largest oil producer. Even if the world were to lose money, the Hormuz blockade would benefit it.
                He called on NATO "to help." In a brief interview on the plane, he said, "If they come, that's good; if they don't, that's also very good." Even if they don't come, he'll have a perfect opportunity to sort things out (for our benefit) with NATO and the current Gayrope.
                The operation will be paid for by Arab countries.
                Good training and cleansing of your lazy army from feminists and other idiots.
                And is it advantageous for him to be particularly concerned about Hormuz? Is he suffering a "defeat"?

    - return the lands to oppressed and enslaved peoples: Indians, Germans, Japanese, etc.;
    - to compensate for the damage caused as a result of American aggression to the residents of Vietnam, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.
    - to compensate the victims and their relatives for the damage caused by Epstein and his associates in the American elite...

    Powerful! I look at Iran, subjected to a large-scale, unprecedented, vile (begun during negotiations) aggression launched against it by the strongest and most powerful forces in the world... at its bold and principled conditions, put forward now, when it is clearly in a much worse position, to put it mildly, objectively - both in terms of its armed forces and in the financial and economic spheres - and I understand how much respect, honor, and recognition I have for this proud and very strong-spirited, and I dare say, GREATEST people... With very restrained elites who tried to resolve any issues to the end, even with outright liars and unprincipled, vile enemies (driven by hatred for it) through the negotiation process and the like.
    I look, in general, at him... and at our top, shaking and fawning before the same enemies who are now destroying our people, through their Ukrainian proxy troops, justifying some of their actions, such as those that are disagreeable to the enemy hegemon, betraying our long-standing allies and leaving them in trouble (as in the case of Venezuela and Cuba), unable to defend their interests and principles to the end, etc., and, with bitterness, I realize that I was apparently born in the wrong country... ((( Because patriotism is gushing inside me, some kind of innate...))) But, the further it goes, the more difficult it is for me to sincerely support the government in my country and "from the heart" to stand for it... The further it goes, the more disgust and disappointment, rejection and misunderstanding of our elites.., especially now, when I see these bold actions of a fearless country, much less weak than us, its leadership, which does not tremble for its skins, does not try to make friends with his enemies (to submit to their power) treacherously destroying their country and people, does not wriggle like an eel in a frying pan, etc., but selflessly and to the maximum extent possible gives a worthy, maximum possible rebuff to the enemies and their accomplices, simply hoping and believing in his victory,
    and only because they know that truth and justice, and therefore Power, are on their side.
    Keep up the good work, worthy sons of humanity! Who, if not you—the honest and selfless, now single-handedly giving a fitting rebuff to the most powerful demonic dark forces on earth—should help the forces of Light, from above? Alas, I don't see any more worthy ones right now...((( And that means Iran will endure; it alone deserves it, and I'm sure it will receive help, for help is given to those who are worthy and firm in their words and deeds, strong in spirit, and not to those who pretend to be so, but when it comes down to it, all the arrogance immediately flares up, some of them squealing and so on.

      But to pretend to be one of us and at the same time be on behalf of Russia's enemies, their interests - this is a very hypocritical and flawed position, a lie... Neither our own nor our enemies respect such people, if that's what it's all about...)

    No one has yet benefited from the conflicts that have arisen around the world (the Middle East, Ukraine, Taiwan). They've stalled at their peak. Therefore, calls for the use of nuclear weapons have naturally emerged. Stubbornness will lead to World War III.

      A highly contentious issue. I strongly suspect that the price tag on all sorts of defensive systems has suddenly skyrocketed, not because of the state, but because of defense corporations, which, unlike ours, are not subject to government control and make, to put it mildly, a healthy profit from the war. And they're stalling production to push the price tag even higher.

    Well done, the Iranians. Although they're a much weaker country than Russia, they acted courageously and without compulsion. And the children of their elite don't live among the enemy. Many have come to respect them, unlike our liberal leadership, which even the village of Estonia would spit in their backs. Iran keeps pounding NATO around and it's okay, but we're only getting complaints about the Shedolph storm.

It didn't miss a beat, made all the right calculations, but... the US didn't come to the Middle East to just tuck its tail between its legs and run away. It's clear the US won't agree to such conditions. These are Iran's demands, albeit fair, that are clearly impossible to fulfill.
