Iran’s top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said reopening the Strait of Hormuz is “impossible” under current conditions.
His remarks come amid ongoing tensions over a fragile ceasefire and continued maritime blockade.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said a complete ceasefire cannot exist if it continues to be violated by what he described as a maritime blockade.
He argued that the situation amounts to “hostage-taking of the world’s economy,” referring to restrictions affecting global trade routes.
Strong warning on Strait of Hormuz
In a statement posted on X, Ghalibaf said reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not possible under what he called a “flagrant breach” of the ceasefire.
The waterway remains one of the world’s most critical routes for oil and gas shipments.
Ghalibaf also criticized what he described as “Zionist warmongering across all fronts,” linking broader regional tensions to the current standoff.
He said that military aggression and political pressure tactics have failed to achieve their intended outcomes.
The Iranian official emphasized that the only path forward lies in acknowledging the rights of the Iranian nation.
He suggested that without such recognition, efforts to resolve the crisis would remain stalled.
