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 reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible while the blockade continues, calling it a 'hostage-taking of the world’s economy.' Ghalibaf asserted that the US and Israel failed to achieve their goals through military force and will not succeed through economic pressure. He concluded that the only path forward is for the international community to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation.
