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 Iran’s demands, as disagreements continue to block an understanding between the two sides.

Ghalibaf’s statement indicated that Tehran is maintaining its conditional position on reopening the strait rather than committing to an immediate resumption of passage.

The specific demands and any timetable for resolving the dispute were not detailed in the available summary of his remarks.
