Iranian Speaker: Reopening Strait of Hormuz is "Impossible" Under Threat and Naval Blockade

 In a new diplomatic escalation, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed as long as the blockade on Iranian ports continues, considering US and Israeli measures a violation of the ceasefire spirit. Qalibaf noted that enemies failed to achieve their goals militarily and are now attempting to impose them through economic blockade. These statements come at a sensitive time as global markets await the outcome of the Islamabad negotiations, with the Iranian side linking the resumption of global energy flows to the full and effective lifting of all maritime restrictions imposed in 2026.
