Iran says Hormuz reopening 'not possible' amid US naval blockade

Iran's parliament speaker said on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz as long as the U.S. naval blockade remained in place, calling it a "blatant violation of the ceasefire."

"A complete ceasefire only has meaning if it is not violated through a naval blockade... reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not possible amid a blatant violation of the ceasefire," speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on X.
