Iran has firmly ruled out reopening the Strait of Hormuz or returning to its earlier negotiation framework with the United States, unless Washington agrees to meet Tehran’s stated conditions.

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran has conveyed its demands through intermediaries and will not reconsider its position until those conditions are fulfilled. His remarks underscore the growing strain in US‑Iran relations, with the Strait of Hormuz emerging as a critical flashpoint.

The strategic waterway, which carries a significant share of the world’s oil and energy shipments, has been under restrictions, raising concerns about disruptions to global trade and fuel supplies. Analysts warn that prolonged closure could have far‑reaching economic consequences.

Ghalibaf’s comments followed a warning from Iran’s central military command, which stated that any renewed US military action against Tehran would trigger retaliatory strikes on American bases and interests across the region.

The latest escalation highlights the fragile state of negotiations and the potential impact on international energy security, as both sides remain locked in a standoff with global repercussions.
