Iran says it’s ‘far from final agreement’ with US, as Strait of Hormuz traffic halts
Iran's parliament speaker says the country is far from a final agreement with the US, while vessel traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has halted due to Iran's closure of the waterway. Ukraine's President Zelensky criticizes the US for temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian oil.
Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that the country is far from reaching a final agreement with the US. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed by Iran, citing US 'breaches of trust', halting vessel traffic. Iranian gunboats fired on a tanker attempting to pass through the strait, and a second vessel was hit by a projectile. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the US for temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian oil, saying it will add $10 billion to Russia's budget. The US Treasury Department issued a waiver allowing the delivery and sale of sanctioned seaborne Russian crude to ease pressure on prices caused by the Iran war. Ghalibaf emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is under Iran's control and warned that any US mistake will be met with a strong response.
