Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Will Remain Closed Until US Meets Seven Conditions
Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States meets seven conditions outlined in a June interim agreement known as the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.

Iranian officials emphasize ongoing diplomatic efforts, while regional tensions and attacks on vessels continue to affect global energy markets.
