US sets conditions for Iran talks restart

The United States has outlined two key conditions for restarting talks with Iran, according to diplomatic sources. First, the Strait of Hormuz must be fully reopened before negotiations can resume, addressing the ongoing blockade's impact on global shipping. Second, the Iranian delegation must have the authority from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to finalize an agreement. These conditions underscore the US's focus on tangible concessions and ensuring any deal has the backing of Iran's powerful military and security apparatus.
