Iran is demanding that the blockade be lifted and that Israel cease its actions in order to reach a truce with the United States
Iran has stated that a potential ceasefire in the war with the U.S. would only make sense if the naval blockade is lifted and Israel ceases hostilities.
This was announced by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on social media platform X.
According to him, a complete ceasefire is possible only if a number of fundamental conditions are met. In particular, Tehran insists that the ceasefire not be accompanied by a “naval blockade” or the “holding of the global economy hostage.”
In addition, Iran demands an end to “Zionist hostilities on all fronts.”
“Opening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible under conditions of a gross violation of the ceasefire. They have not achieved their goals through military aggression and will not achieve them through intimidation. The only way forward is the recognition of the rights of the Iranian people,” Galibaf stated.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Washington is not setting strict deadlines for achieving a ceasefire or resuming negotiations with Iran.
Prior to this, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran has repeatedly violated the ceasefire since it was established between Washington and Tehran. According to Trump, there have been numerous incidents that cast doubt on Iran’s compliance with the ceasefire agreements.
Trumpexpressed his willingness to meet personally with Iran’s new leadership.
US President Donald Trump also announced progress in negotiations with Iran, under which Washington would allegedly receive all of Tehran’s enriched uranium without any financial payments.
Additionally, Israel agreed to a 10-day ceasefire with Lebanon and announced the start of a move toward a diplomatic settlement; however, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that the war against Hezbollah is not yet over and military operations will continue.
Additionally, Iran announced new rules for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which is one of the world’s key oil supply routes. Commercial vessels will now be able to transit only with permission from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
