Iran has ruled out reopening the Strait of Hormuz or returning to the previous framework of negotiations with the United States until Washington meets Tehran’s conditions, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said amid escalating tensions between the two countries.
Ghalibaf said Iran had conveyed its demands to the United States through intermediaries and would not reconsider its position until those conditions were met.
The Strait of Hormuz has emerged as a major flashpoint in the growing confrontation between Washington and Tehran. The strategic waterway is a key route for global energy shipments, and restrictions on maritime traffic have raised concerns about further disruptions to international trade and oil supplies.
Ghalibaf’s remarks came after Iran’s central military command warned that any renewed US military action against Tehran would trigger attacks on American bases and interests across the region.
The latest statements underscore the growing risk of further escalation between the two countries, with the status of the Strait of Hormuz remaining a critical factor for regional security and global energy markets.
