MSNOW: A senior Iranian official told MSNOW on Monday that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz only if the United States meets all of the conditions that Tehran contends are in the June memorandum of understanding between the two countries.
Those conditions include unfreezing Iranian funds and assets and the end of fighting in Lebanon. The Iranian official said the U.S. is to blame for the closure of the strait because it has failed to fully implement the memorandum.
