Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, speaker of the Iranian parliament, stated in an interview with Al-Jazeera that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war status. This statement comes as one of seven conditions Iran is imposing in negotiations.

Qalibaf indicated that Iran does not wish to continue military confrontation and prefers peace, but is insisting its conditions be met. The specific nature of the six remaining conditions was not detailed in the reporting.

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical chokepoints for global energy supplies, making any Iranian position on its status a matter of significant international concern.
