Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has declared that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen to international maritime traffic until all seven conditions stipulated in the June interim agreement with the United States are fully satisfied.
According to a report published by Nur News on Sunday (October 4, 2026), Speaker Ghalibaf rejected recent US proposals transmitted via regional intermediaries, stating that the era of unilateral demands and stalling tactics is over. Reaffirming Tehran's position, Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran remains steadfast on compliance with the seven key terms laid out in the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in June. Concurrently, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi informed foreign diplomats in Tehran that a renewed proposal had been presented to Washington. Araghchi noted that if the United States accepts the conditions, the strategic maritime choke point could be reopened within seven days. However, he warned that if Washington chooses military confrontation over diplomacy, Iran is more prepared than ever to defend its sovereignty.
