Iran Declines to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Until US Honors June Agreement

Iran stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States honors a June agreement. The parliamentary speaker of Iran declared that the strait will stay closed until the US accepts Iran's terms. Tehran says the closure is a direct response to the US's failure to meet agreed terms. Washington has not commented publicly on the statement, though diplomatic channels are reportedly under pressure to address the issue.
