Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf has reiterated that a complete ceasefire in the region is only viable if the United States ends its maritime blockade of Iran and Israel halts its military actions. He stated that extending the truce and reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible while the blockade remains in place, calling it a blatant violation of the ceasefire. This statement comes as President Donald Trump has extended the US-Iran ceasefire without specifying an end date. The comments reinforce Iran's public position that any lasting agreement is contingent on the removal of the US economic and military pressure.
