Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Tehran is ready to "both fight and negotiate", according to Anadolu Agency.
Qalibaf stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Iran's conditions are met, reiterating Tehran's position linking the strategic waterway's status to unresolved issues with the United States.
The remarks reflect Iran's dual approach of maintaining pressure through the strait's closure while leaving open the possibility of a negotiated resolution with Washington.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for global oil shipments, and statements regarding its status continue to be closely watched by international energy markets.
No immediate response from US officials to Qalibaf's latest comments was reported.
