Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not possible due to the ongoing US naval blockadethe Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Baker Kalibaf, said on Wednesday. TASR informs about it according to the reports of the AFP and Reuters agencies. “A full ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by a naval blockade… reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not possible during flagrant ceasefire violations,” X wrote on the social network.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkiyan said on Wednesday that the US’s breach of commitments and its blockade of Iranian ports are the main obstacles to “real negotiations”. “The world sees your endless hypocritical rhetoric and the discrepancy between claims and actions,” he said. US President Donald Trump on Tuesday extended a two-week ceasefire in the war with Iran just before it expired. The aim, he said, was to give Tehran more time to present a unified proposal for negotiations.
