The Strait of Hormuz remains at the center of a growing standoff between Iran and the United States. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the waterway will not reopen until Washington fulfills commitments Tehran says were agreed under an interim memorandum of understanding. Speaking in parliament, Ghalibaf said the conditions include lifting the naval blockade and oil sanctions, releasing Iran’s frozen assets, and ending threats and military operations against Iran. He also accused Washington of seeking to create economic pressure and divisions inside Iranian society. The remarks come as tensions remain high over Hormuz, a crucial global energy route.
