Hormuz Strait to remain shut until U.S. meets interim deal conditions, Iran says
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran will keep the waterway closed until Washington lifts the blockade, frees assets and removes oil sanctions, as oil flows remain disrupted.
- On Tuesday, Iranian negotiator Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf announced the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States fulfills commitments from the memorandum of understanding, including lifting the naval blockade and oil sanctions.
- Ghalibaf linked the closure to demands for unfreezing Iranian assets, which were central to an Iran-US truce in June that later collapsed.
- Iran and Oman have agreed on geographical coordinates for navigation through the Strait, yet the broader diplomatic impasse persists; Tehran continues requiring vessels to seek permission and pay transit fees.
- President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it "gets in the way" of a deal, while Ghalibaf warned Tehran was "ready to inflict an even more crushing defeat" on the enemy.
- Diplomatic discussions are "continuing in a serious manner," Iran reported on Monday, with views being exchanged on a potential joint statement, though sporadic clashes persist in the Strait.
