Iran declared that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not possible as long as the US blockade of Iranian ports continues. Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said that any ceasefire between Tehran and Washington is meaningless unless the naval blockade and what he called the “hostage-taking” of the global economy come to an end.
In a post on X, he wrote, "A full ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by the naval blockade and the hostage-taking of the world’s economy, and if the Zionist warmongering across all fronts is halted; the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is not possible with such a flagrant breach of the ceasefire."
