Ghalibaf Says Hormuz Stays Closed Until US Meets Conditions
Iranian official Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says an important sea route, the Strait of Hormuz, will stay closed.
He says the United States must first meet seven conditions set by Iran.
He linked the conditions to a 14-point plan made in June.
Ghalibaf said the United States recently sent proposals through a mediator.
He did not explain what those proposals said or list the seven conditions.
He said Iran would not accept demands he considers one-sided.
The June plan was meant to help stop the fighting and allow more talks, including about Iran’s nuclear program.
The plan collapsed in July, and fighting resumed.
The articles do not give a date for Ghalibaf’s speech.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until the United States meets seven conditions.
He said the conditions are based on a 14-point memorandum signed in June, also referred to in his remarks as the Islamabad Memorandum.
Ghalibaf said the United States had recently sent proposals through a mediator, but did not detail them.
He rejected what he called unilateral US demands and said Iran’s position was clear.
The June framework sought to end hostilities and enable further negotiations; it collapsed in July, after which the conflict resumed.
