Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until seven conditions set by Iran are met. These conditions stem from a tentative agreement reached with the United States in June. The announcement was reported by Nournews, a news agency affiliated with the Supreme National Security Council in Tehran. Qalibaf indicated Iran is better prepared than previously to maintain its position regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Details of the seven conditions were not immediately disclosed, but their fulfillment is being directly linked to the reopening of this critical waterway. This development signals continued tension and complex negotiations between Iran and the US. Reuters reported on the statement, highlighting the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz in global oil shipping.
