Teheran \u2013 Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has\nemphasised that Tehran will continue to conduct strict monitoring and\ncontrol over the Strait of Hormuz. This will be done until the war\nagainst the US-Israel alliance truly ends and sustainable peace is\nachieved.<\/p>\n
The SNSC secretariat, in a statement on Saturday (18 April 2026),\nannounced that following the battlefield failures of the US-Israel side\nand ongoing requests from the United States for negotiations, Iran\nagreed through Pakistan\u2019s mediation to hold talks aimed at ending the\nconflict based on the proposed plan.<\/p>\n
It was stated that the Iranian delegation engaged in lengthy\nnegotiations. Iran firmly conveyed its position despite deep distrust\ntowards the United States.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, the negotiations ultimately failed\nbecause the opposing side presented additional demands that Iran\nrejected. The country emphasised that it will not compromise on its core\npositions.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the continuation of negotiations has been postponed until\nthe other side aligns its stance with the realities on the battlefield.\nThe statement also mentioned that a new proposal has recently been\nreceived through Pakistan\u2019s mediation and is currently under review.<\/p>\n
It was stressed that the Iranian delegation will not sacrifice\nnational interests and will continue to defend the rights and sacrifices\nof the Iranian people.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the important prerequisites for Iran\u2019s acceptance of a\ntemporary ceasefire is the cessation of fire on all fronts, including\nLebanon. However, the Zionist regime violated this from the outset with\nbrutal attacks on Lebanon and the heroic Hezbollah,\u201d the statement\nadded.<\/p>\n
The statement further noted that, at Iran\u2019s insistence, Israel\naccepted a ceasefire in Lebanon. It was agreed that if a ceasefire is\napproved on all fronts by the enemy side, the Strait of Hormuz will be\ntemporarily and conditionally opened only for commercial vessels, not\nmilitary ships or non-military vessels belonging to enemy states. This\ncontrol is under the authorisation of Iran\u2019s Armed Forces and through\nroutes designated by Iran.<\/p>\n
Iran is determined to implement supervision and control through the\nstrait. This will continue until the definitive end of the war and the\nestablishment of sustainable peace.<\/p>\n
It was explained that this control is carried out through obtaining\ncomplete information from passing vessels, issuing transit certificates\nin accordance with regulations announced by the Islamic Republic of Iran\nin line with wartime conditions, as well as payment of fees related to\nsecurity services, safety, and environmental protection, and movement of\nships through routes set by Iran.<\/p>\n
The statement also affirmed that if the enemy side attempts to\ndisrupt shipping traffic or impose measures such as a naval blockade,\nthe Islamic Republic of Iran will consider it a violation of the\nceasefire. Consequently, Iran will prevent or even limit the conditional\nopening of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/until-when-will-iran-control-the-strait-of-hormuz-1776527442", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
