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 on all fronts. In a post on social media, Ghalibaf stated that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible while the ceasefire is being violated by the blockade. He argued that a meaningful ceasefire cannot coexist with the seizure of the global economy through such measures. This statement reinforces Iran's consistent position linking the strategic waterway's accessibility to the removal of US pressure.
