Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that reopening the Strait of Hormuz would only be possible if a full ceasefire is observed and Israeli military actions across all fronts are halted. He made the remarks on Wednesday in a post on social media platform X, emphasizing that a ceasefire would only be meaningful if naval blockades and aggressive actions cease.

Ghalibaf added that amid what he described as severe violations of the ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not feasible. He also rejected the idea that Iran could be pressured into concessions, saying that neither military aggression nor external pressure would achieve such goals. According to him, the only viable path is for others to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation.

The comments come after Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation in recent discussions with the United States, underscoring Tehran’s firm stance on sovereignty and resistance to coercion.
