Iran says final deal still far off as Hormuz shuttered
Iran's parliament speaker says a final peace deal with the US is still far off despite some progress in negotiations. The Strait of Hormuz was closed again after Iran reversed its decision to reopen it following a temporary ceasefire.
Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that despite progress in talks with the US, a final peace deal remains distant. The Strait of Hormuz was closed again after a temporary reopening following a ceasefire. Ghalibaf said Iran will not allow the strait to reopen until the US ends its blockade of Iranian ports. The US and Iran are negotiating to end the war launched by Israel and the US against Iran. Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said the Iranian navy is ready to defeat the US. The US president warned Iran against trying to 'blackmail' the US by controlling the strait. The situation remains tense, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards warning that any vessel attempting to pass through the strait without permission will be targeted.
