伊朗政府坚持美国必须做出重大让步方可重新开放霍尔木兹海峡[1]。伊朗外交部发言人埃斯迈尔·巴格海伊表示，"应由美国方面停止并弥补其非法和破坏性行为"[1]。伊朗提出的具体条件包括美国解除对伊朗港口的封锁、支付战争损害赔偿、解除经济制裁以及释放伊朗冻结资产[1]。作为全球重要能源通道，霍尔木兹海峡通常运输占全球贸易石油供应量五分之一的原油[1]。
中东地区紧张局势的升级并非仅限于伊朗与美国的对峙。以色列军方宣布将约旦河西岸基督教占多数的城镇泰贝赫定为禁闭军事区，以防止以色列定居者进入[1]。与此同时，也门胡塞武装对红海港口城镇莫卡发动袭击，造成包括4名军人和3名平民在内的7人死亡、30人受伤[1]。
Iran has made clear that reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on American compliance with its conditions, according to statements from the Iranian Foreign Ministry [1]. The government insists the United States must lift its blockade on Iranian ports, compensate Iran for months of war damages, remove economic sanctions, and release frozen Iranian assets [1]. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated: "It is up to the American side to stop and make up for its illegal and destructive actions" [1]. The Strait of Hormuz typically carries roughly one-fifth of global traded oil supplies [1].
Concurrent developments in the broader Middle East underscore mounting regional tensions. Israel's military designated Taybeh, a Christian-majority town in the West Bank, as a closed military zone to prevent Israeli settlers from entering [1]. The measure reflects ongoing disputes in the occupied territory, where at least 87 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in 2026 [1]. In Yemen, Houthi fighters launched an attack on the Red Sea port city of Mokha on Sunday, resulting in four military personnel and three civilians dead, with 30 others wounded [1].
