Iran Will Keep Hormuz Closed Until Demands Are Met: Qalibaf

News Desk
TEHRAN: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf has asserted that Tehran will maintain the closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz until all of its stipulated conditions and demands are fully satisfied by the opposing parties.
Addressing a parliamentary session in the Iranian capital, Qalibaf confirmed that the Islamic Republic has categorically communicated its core positions and formal requirements to the United States.
He emphasized that the legislature stands firm behind the national security policies dictating the current maritime posture.
The closure of the vital global trade corridor carries profound implications for international energy markets, crude oil transit, and regional stability.
Economists and geopolitical analysts warn that a prolonged standoff in the Persian Gulf could trigger immediate supply chain shocks and elevate global petroleum prices.
As diplomatic channels remain strained, regional stakeholders and international observers are closely monitoring subsequent developments to gauge whether formal negotiations will resume to resolve the maritime deadlock and reopen the critical shipping lane.
