Iran’s Supreme National Security Council leads in shaping security policy; current focus: Hormuz talks progress and security demands amid Strait of Hormuz tensions.
The Strait of Hormuz is nearing a temporary, Oman‑led corridor arrangement to reopen shipping. Iran seeks central control and potential fees, while the US calls for an open waterway. Attacks persist as diplomacy continues, with a possible 60‑day window for a temporary route.
Iran’s security council has conditioned the Strait of Hormuz reopening on the United States’ complete withdrawal, end to sanctions, and compensation for war damages. Tehran, Oman and other mediators are pursuing a temporary corridor while negotiations continue under an interim deal that still faces hurdles. Attacks on vessels persist as the war drags on, keeping oil supplies and regional stability in question.
