Iran says reopening Strait of Hormuz 'impossible' if US blockade continues
Iran has stated that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is 'impossible' if the US continues its blockade, amid accusations of ceasefire violations by the US and Israel. Tensions remain high following an Iranian attack on cargo ships in the strait.
Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said reopening the Strait of Hormuz is 'not possible' due to US 'violations' of the ceasefire agreement. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian cited the US blockade and threats as obstacles to negotiations. Earlier, Iran attacked three cargo ships in the strait, seizing two for 'inspection'. US President Trump suggested talks with Iran could resume by Friday. Meanwhile, Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun said talks were underway with Israel to extend the ceasefire deadline.
