Iran says Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until conditions are met, Nournews reports

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until specific, undisclosed conditions set by Tehran are met. Qalibaf stated that the United States is no longer in a position to delay the resolution of these requirements, signaling a shift in Iran's approach to the maritime passage.

The announcement, reported via Nournews, marks a hardening of Iran's stance regarding the strategic waterway. By linking the reopening of the strait to the fulfillment of its demands, Iran is leveraging its control over the region to exert pressure on international stakeholders, particularly the United States.
