"Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated, 'A full ceasefire only makes sense if the blockade was lifted.' He emphasized that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with such a 'flagrant breach of the ceasefire.'"
"'You did not achieve your goals through military aggression and you will not achieve them by bullying either,' Qalibaf wrote in response to Trump's announcement, stressing the need to recognize the Iranian people's rights."
"Despite Trump's threats to bomb Iran's power plants, which would violate international humanitarian law, little progress has been made in ending the war that started with joint U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran."
Iran seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz, tightening control after the US announced a ceasefire extension. Iranian officials criticized the US blockade, viewing it as an act of war. Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated that a full ceasefire is contingent on lifting the blockade. He emphasized that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible under current conditions. Despite Trump's threats to bomb Iran, little progress has been made in resolving the ongoing conflict that began with US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
