Iranian speaker says Strait of Hormuz reopening impossible amid US ceasefire violations

Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated on April 22 that a full ceasefire is meaningless unless it is preceded by the lifting of the maritime blockade and a halt to acts of global economic coercion. He emphasized that it is impossible to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while the U.S. is openly violating the ceasefire agreement.
