The Strait of ​Hormuz will not reopen until ‌seven Iranian conditions set ​out in ⁠a June interim agreement with the U.S. are met, ‌Nournews reported Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad ‌Baqer Qalibaf as ‌saying ⁠on Sunday (October 4, 2026), a few ⁠days after Tehran received Washington’s reply to its diplomatic ​proposal.

“The Americans, ‌who say something different in the media, have recently put forward ‌proposals through a ​mediator. But they must understand that the ⁠period of dragging out the process ‌and dictating one-sided demands is over,” Mr. Qalibaf was quoted as saying.

“The position of the Islamic Republic of ‌Iran is completely clear and ​firm, and the Strait of Hormuz ⁠will not be opened until ⁠our seven conditions, based on the ‌Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, are met,” he said.
