Hormuz Strait to remain shut until US meets interim deal conditions, Iran says

A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday that Iran would now shift to a “fully offensive” posture ⁠due to the stalled diplomatic efforts to secure a permanent end to the conflict.

The Strait of Hormuz will remain shut until the US meets the conditions ​of an interim deal signed with Iran in June, the top ‌Iranian negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said in comments published by state media on Tuesday.
