Los Angeles Times wrote that the Islamic Republic’s new conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz could pose greater challenges to talks over the management of this waterway and the passage of ships.

As the newspaper wrote, the United States seeks to reach an agreement about the Strait of Hormuz before the end of the maritime blockade, while Tehran considers the implementation of a set of political, military, and economic demands as a prerequisite for reopening this route.

The newspaper also reported that just over a week remains until the end of the 60-day deadline for negotiations to reach a final agreement. However, as written by Los Angeles Times, this deadline could be extended and the negotiations may continue
