Iran demands US answer 7 conditions before reopening Strait of Hormuz

The absence of any published detail on the seven conditions is itself the story: markets and shipping operators are being asked to price a reopening path whose terms are unverifiable. Linking Hormuz transit to an explicit, implemented US response turns a chokepoint question into a bilateral compliance test, which extends the timeline beyond any single diplomatic exchange. Watch whether Tehran publishes the conditions or Washington characterizes them publicly — until one side does, the reopening signal remains unreadable, and the gap between rhetoric and verifiable terms is where the risk sits.
