Iran’s Ghalibaf Says Hormuz Will Not Reopen Until Tehran’s Conditions Are Met

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran had received American proposals through intermediaries, while insisting that the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen until Iran’s demands were satisfied.

Ghalibaf tied reopening the strait to the fulfilment of seven conditions set by Tehran. His remarks presented those conditions as a prerequisite for any change in Iran’s position.

The statement did not detail the American proposals or identify the intermediaries who conveyed them. It also did not spell out Iran’s seven conditions.

Ghalibaf’s comments indicated that proposals were being passed between the two sides indirectly, but offered no indication that an agreement on reopening the strait had been reached.
