“This does not mean that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened,” said Araghchi of the progress regarding a new shipping route, insisting it remains “contingent on the fulfillment of other conditions, which have been conveyed to the American side through intermediaries."

“Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not open,” the notice read.

Never threaten Iran with any language or insult the sanctities of this nation.

Lift the naval blockade and withdraw its military forces (naval and air) from around Iran.

Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation.

Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, reiterated several of those demands, such as the removal of the U.S. blockade and compensation for Iran, during a press conference with state media Monday.

What is the status of U.S.-Iran talks?

U.S. President Donald Trump did not immediately respond to Iran’s demands, but on Sunday he said Washington is “low-keying it” with Tehran.

TIME has reached out to the White House for further comment.

"It shows that they believe that they have the upper hand, they believe they are winning, and they are emboldened, and that's what we're up against right now after five-and-a-half months of conflict," he said.

The tussle over the Strait reignited, with Trump declaring the cease-fire as “over” while at the NATO summit in Turkey on July 8. Days of consecutive tit-for-tat strikes marked a resumption of the war that has stretched on for over five months. When the cease-fire collapsed, the U.S. reimposed its naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait.

Before Iran’s conditions landed, Vice President J.D. Vance was asked Saturday whether Tehran maintaining a tighter grip over the Strait would be an acceptable status quo. "Our expectation is you're going to see the same amount of oil and gas come out of the Gulf that you saw before the conflict started," Vance said. "That is what the Iranians have told us that they are going to do. That's what the entire Gulf coalition wants to do, as well."

"We're in the middle of the game, and we're applying a whole host of tools—diplomatic, economic, military tools—to ensure that we get the best outcome for the American people," he said.

Prior to the Iran war starting on Feb. 28, 138 vessels typically passed through the vital trade waterway during a 24-hour period.

Lawmakers have criticized the resumption of hostilities, and some Republican Senators have joined Democrats in attempts to limit Trump’s ability to continue the Iran war without congressional authorization.
