Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly and Iran's senior negotiator, declared on X that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible due to the U.S. military's naval blockade and recent attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on foreign ships in the strait. Meanwhile, Iran did not participate in scheduled negotiations in Pakistan before the two-week ceasefire expired, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to extend the ceasefire, giving Iran more time to present a unified proposal.
