US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Iranian Parliament Speaker and top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States fulfills its commitments from a collapsed June interim agreement. Speaking on Sunday, October 4, 2026, Ghalibaf stated that the strategic waterway will not reopen until seven specific Iranian conditions, established under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, are met.
The announcement via Nournews follows Washington’s recent response to an Iranian diplomatic proposal sent through an intermediary. Ghalibaf dismissed current US media statements and diplomatic efforts as “dragging out the process and dictating one-sided demands”.

Iran’s Core Demands: To lift the blockade, Tehran demands a comprehensive “behaviour correction” from the US:
-
Ending US and Israeli military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.
-
Lifting the US naval blockade on Iranian ports and ending oil sanctions.
-
Unconditionally releasing all frozen Iranian assets.
-
Withdrawing US air and sea forces from the immediate region.
Economic Security Warning: The ongoing closure severely impacts global energy corridors. Reinforcing the blockade, Ghalibaf previously warned that if Iran is blocked from exporting its own oil, “no regional infrastructure would be safe” or permitted to safely export oil either.
