The statement accurately reflects comments made by Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stating that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until the U.S. meets conditions including military withdrawal, war reparations, and the release of frozen assets.
Why this score

↑ Demands explicitly include U.S. military withdrawal from around Iran, war reparations, and release of frozen assets.
↑ Reported widely across international news outlets on August 8, 2026.
🌐 FULL SPECTRUM SETTLED FACT
ConsensusMultiple reports confirm Iranian officials, including senior security figures, have stated the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until the US meets extensive demands such as military withdrawal from the region, lifting sanctions and blockades, paying reparations, and releasing frozen assets.
↔ Any Hormuz arrangement will be limited, bilateral with Oman, exclude the US, and entrench a new Iranian security role rather than full reopening under prior terms.
Who: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesmen and officials via Iran International
Strongest argument: Technical talks address only shipping routes and Iran alone decides opening/closing under a post-war framework that rejects pre-war status quo and US involvement.
Assessment: Supported by official Iranian statements distinguishing navigation talks from broader concessions; remains unresolved as US-Iran dynamics and enforcement capacity are untested.
↔ Iran believes military pressure has cornered the US into eventually accepting Iranian control over the waterway.
Who: AP analysis of Iranian leadership strategy; some Iranian MPs and IRGC voices
Strongest argument: Time and energy market leverage favor Tehran, making sweeping demands viable without needing immediate full US capitulation.
Assessment: Aligns with reported Iranian confidence and historical Hormuz chokepoint power; fails if US/allied naval countermeasures or alternative energy routes succeed, which is still evolving.
Open questions• Exact identity and full verbatim list from the specific 'top security official' versus broader Iranian statements
• Whether reported Oman-mediated talks will produce any partial reopening independent of the full demand list
• Verifiable status of any ongoing US naval blockade and precise scope of 'around Iran' troop withdrawal demanded
