Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said Tehran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States responds to the conditions set by Iran.
Qalibaf noted that disputes continue to obstruct any understanding between Tehran and Washington regarding this strategic waterway, which is considered one of the world's most important oil shipping routes.
The Iranian official did not provide full details of his country's conditions, but his statements come amid ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington over strategic issues in the region.
The linking of the Strait of Hormuz's reopening to political conditions comes at a time when global markets are closely monitoring any developments related to the passage, given its pivotal role in global energy supplies.
Washington has yet to issue an official response to Qalibaf's statements regarding the Iranian conditions.
