Israeli official: Iran agreed to reopen Hormuz ‘without getting any of its demands it advance’

In a written statement to reporters, a senior Israeli official says that the US “coordinated in advance” with Israel on the two-week ceasefire with Iran.

According to the official, Iran “is opening the Strait of Hormuz without getting any of its demands it advance, such as a commitment for a final end to the war, reparations, the removal of heavy sanctions against it and more.”

The official says that the Trump administration told Israel that during the coming negotiations, the US will stick to its guns in demanding that Iran remove all nuclear material from the country, halt uranium enrichment, “remove the ballistic missile threat and more.”

“These are shared goals of Israel and the US,” the official insists. “Iran backed off its demands and gave in to the demand to open the straits amid the massive crushing of regime infrastructure since the outbreak of the war and particularly in recent days.”
