quote: The US offer this week was essentially that the strait reopen under Iran's terms though without tolls, and that in return the US lift its blockade. Undoubtedly Iran has rejected the deal. It has not walked away from talks. Iran has made countless demands over the last six months. Many are reflected in this list. Not all have been dealbreakers. Releasing a list of aspirational goals--mirroring the action in the majlis, where an extremely hardline bill for managing the strait was put forward this week--strikes me as a negotiating tactic, and potentially a very effective one. Iran is seeing how much it can get. And it's not really in a rush. | Statement from SNSC Secretary Zolqadr purports to lay down Iran's demands for reopening the strait. They are:   1. Never threaten Iran with any language or insult the sanctities of this nation.    2. End the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq forever.    3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw its naval and air forces from around Iran.    4. Pay the damages of the two aggressive wars imposed on Iran without fail.    5. Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian people.    6. Release the frozen and stolen assets of the Iranian people unconditionally.
