Iran’s top negotiator has said that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is “impossible” under current conditions, amid what he described as a breach of a ceasefire.

“A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by the maritime blockade and the hostage-taking of the world’s economy and if the Zionist warmongering across all fronts is halted,” lead Iranian negotiator and parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X, The Caspian Post reports.

“Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with such a flagrant breach of the ceasefire. They did not achieve their goals through military aggression, nor will they through bullying," he emphasized.

"The only way forward is to recognise the rights of the Iranian nation," Ghalibaf added.
