Iran Sets Conditions for Reopening Strait of Hormuz, Ghalibaf Says

Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States meets conditions set by Tehran, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Sunday.

His remarks tied the reopening of the strategic maritime passage to Washington’s response to Iranian demands, with disagreements continuing to block an understanding between the two sides.

Ghalibaf’s statement set out Tehran’s position that US action must precede any reopening. The conditions themselves were not detailed in the available summary of his remarks.

The dispute leaves the status of the strait unresolved, with no agreement between Tehran and Washington indicated in the statement.
