Istanbul (ANTARA) - The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament stated on\nSunday that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United\nStates fulfils the commitments made under the June 2026 agreement and\nmeets the requirements set by Tehran.<\/p>\n
Speaking before parliament, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament,\nMohammad Bagher Qalibaf, stated that Iran has firmly communicated its\nrequirements to its opponents through intermediaries, according to\nreports from the state broadcaster IRIB.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opposing side is well aware that attempts at deception and\nunilateral coercion have failed. Until these requirements are met, the\nlegitimate rights of the Iranian people are recognised, and American\ncommitments are fulfilled, there will be no opportunity to return to\nprevious negotiating conditions or to reopen the Strait of Homuz,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated after the US and Israel\nlaunched attacks against Iran on 28 February, triggering retaliatory\nstrikes from Iran against countries in the region that host US military\nassets.<\/p>\n
Iran has also closed the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world\u2019s most\nvital waterways for the shipment of oil and gas.<\/p>\n
Washington and Tehran reached an agreement in June which included a\ncessation of military operations, as well as arrangements to reopen the\nStrait of Hormuz for maritime traffic.<\/p>\n
However, the agreement subsequently failed due to disputes between\nthe two parties regarding navigation and security arrangements in the\nstrategic waterway.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/iran-threatens-to-close-strait-of-hormuz-until-us-fulfils-commitments-1789898215", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
