Iran has imposed strict conditions on reopening the Strait of Hormuz under its fragile ceasefire with the United States. Shipping is capped at 15 vessels daily, each requiring approval under IRGC-supervised protocols, with no return to pre-war norms. Tehran demands unfreezing of its overseas assets within two weeks and insists the war’s end be formalised via a United Nations Security Council resolution on its terms. It also opposes any US troop increase in the region. Tensions persist over Lebanon, excluded from the deal by Washington and Israel. Iran warns of renewed conflict and potential closure of Hormuz if conditions are unmet. (PC: NDTV)
