NewzMohammad Baqer Zolqadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States alters its current policy toward Tehran. The official stated that six specific conditions must be met to facilitate the reopening of the strategic waterway, emphasizing a requirement for Washington to correct its behavior and cease what is described as hostile conduct.
The announcement, disseminated through Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, links the status of the maritime passage directly to broader geopolitical tensions between the two nations. By establishing these prerequisites, Iranian leadership has framed the continued closure of the Strait as a response to perceived U.S. aggression.
