Iran Proposes US Compensation and Control Over Strait of Hormuz

Russian outlets describe Iran’s proposal as a response to years of US pressure and sanctions, arguing that Washington has lost momentum in the confrontation. They stress Tehran’s demands for unfreezing assets, compensation, and vessel safety as reasonable conditions after what they call US aggression.
