Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf announced that the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened until Iran's seven conditions are fully met. These conditions are based on the interim agreement reached with the US in June and the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most vital maritime trade routes because a massive amount of crude oil and gas is supplied through it. Any disruption to this waterway can severely impact the global energy market and cause oil supply fluctuations for import-dependent nations like India.
According to a report by Noor News, Iran communicated its stance to the US through proposals sent via a mediator while emphasizing that the era of unilateral conditions is over. Iranian officials stated they remain firm on their position until all necessary terms for the route are satisfied.
