Iran's parliament speaker says Tehran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz or return to the previous framework of negotiations with the United States until Washington meets Iranian conditions conveyed through intermediaries.
Iran has ruled out reopening the Strait of Hormuz or returning to the previous framework of negotiations with the United States until Washington meets Tehran's conditions, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said, according to Iran's Tasnim news agency.
Ghalibaf said Tehran had conveyed its demands to Washington through intermediaries and would not change its position until those conditions were met.
"Until these conditions are met, the legitimate rights of the Iranian nation are recognised, and the Americans' commitments are implemented, there will be no opening for a return to the previous conditions for negotiations or the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz," he said.
The remarks came a day after a further Iranian announcement, the report said, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.
The statement leaves the status of the Strait of Hormuz and the format of any future US-Iran negotiations unresolved. The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for global energy shipments, so a continued closure carries consequences beyond the two countries directly involved. Neither the specific conditions Iran has set nor the timing of any response from Washington was detailed in the report.
