The Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy transport route, has been effectively closed due to the standoff between the United States and Iran. The United States is strengthening economic sanctions against Iran and advocating for the blockade of Iranian ports and a ban on crude oil exports. In contrast, Iran criticizes the US sanctions as violations of international law and argues that they cause severe harm to civilians. Iran has presented a list of conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran insists that the United States must engage in dialogue with a posture of trust and respect, recognizing Iran's rights.
