Control over Strait of Hormuz is ‘Lifeline’ for the Regime
The United States must not allow the nuclear issue to be sidelined in any agreement that would ease financial pressure on the Islamic regime, experts told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday, warning that control over the Strait of Hormuz would amount to a much-needed “lifeline” for Tehran.
In Tehran’s counter-proposal sent to Pakistan on Saturday, according to Axios, the Islamic regime reportedly demanded the unrestricted sale of its oil, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, an end to Israel’s war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, the withdrawal of US forces from the region, and the release of some of the regime’s frozen assets.
In return, Washington and Tehran would sign a memorandum of understanding under which, for 60 days, no tolls would be imposed on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz
