Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr

Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr is former iranian security council secretary who set hormuz conditions before taking an advisory role. Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr was secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council when he published six conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz on 8 August. He resigned on 9 August and moved to an advisory role. No Iranian statement has given a reason for the resignation or its timing. The council turns a negotiated text

into Iranian policy. Abbas Araghchi's preliminary Hormuz draft was awaiting the council's approval on 5 August . Iran had already demanded the release of frozen assets before reopening the strait in May . Zolghadr's sequence of actions matters because it joined maritime passage to broader war and sanctions terms.
