Reactions and statements from the international community
The Strait of Hormuz has再度成为伊斯兰共和国和美国之间紧张关系的关键焦点，这一战略要道的任何变化都可能影响全球能源市场和国际安全。伊朗国际编辑委员会成员梅迪·比吉在《帕维斯特》中讨论了这一话题。
Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that the Iranian negotiating team stated no negotiations will occur while former President Trump's naval blockade statement against Iran remains in effect. The exchange of messages between Iran and the United States through a Pakistani intermediary has continued but has not yielded results due to "excessive demands and ambitions of the Americans," according to Tasnim.
US Ambassador to the UN, Marcie Waltz, stated that bridges and power plants operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are legitimate military targets, both currently and historically, and dismissed claims that targeting such infrastructure constitutes war crimes.
US Ambassador to the UN, Waltz, stated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in disarray due to targeted attacks on its leadership, attributing this to the U.S. naval blockade and President Trump's control over what enters and exits Iran, thus undermining Iran's economic leverage over the world.
The Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the IRGC, reported that the Islamic Republic has no plans to send a negotiating delegation and will not engage in negotiations while the United States maintains a maritime blockade. Tasnim also stated that Pakistan has continued to act as an intermediary, exchanging messages between the two sides since the first round of talks ended.
Iran has stated it will not engage in negotiations or hold talks with the United States until its naval blockade is lifted, according to TASNIM news agency.
The US and Iran held talks to resolve key issues, including Iran's commitment to not developing nuclear weapons, maintaining free passage through the Strait of Hormuz without imposing tariffs, and the lifting of sanctions along with compensation for war damages.
IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Gen. Mousavi stated that during the ceasefire, Iran has been enhancing and replenishing its missile and drone capabilities at a faster rate than before the war, while the enemy struggles to rebuild its stockpiles and must import munitions gradually from abroad.
Iranian naval broadcasts on Thursday referred to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as an "idiot" and stated they would only open the Strait of Hormuz under orders from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that the United States' blockade of Iran's ports and coastline is a violation of the Pakistani-mediated ceasefire, describing it as unlawful, criminal, and a form of collective punishment constituting a war crime and crime against humanity.
The likelihood of commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz returning to normal before the end of the month has dropped to 24% following recent Iranian statements and gunboat attacks.
President Donald Trump of the United States announced on Truth Social that U.S. representatives will travel to Islamabad, Pakistan, for negotiations and will arrive on Monday evening. Trump also criticized Iran for firing in the Strait of Hormuz, which he described as a "complete violation" of the ceasefire agreement, targeting a French ship and a British cargo vessel.
