Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, declared on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to traffic until the United States fulfills its obligations under a previously established June agreement. According to reports from Iran’s state broadcaster, IRIB, Ghalibaf stated that Tehran has already relayed its specific conditions for reopening the vital waterway to the American side via third-party intermediaries.

While the report from Middle East Eye highlights the Iranian government's stance, it does not provide the specific details of the June agreement or the exact nature of the conditions Tehran is demanding. The report notes that Reuters has previously indicated a link between the closure of the strait and U.S. commitments, but the current status of these negotiations remains opaque. There is no official response from the United States government included in the report, leaving the American perspective on the existence or terms of this alleged June agreement unaddressed. The situation remains a significant point of tension, as the Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint for oil shipments, and its continued closure carries substantial implications for international energy markets and regional security.
