Amir Hossein Yazdan-Panah, a member of Iran's nuclear negotiating team, issued a categorical statement on the status of the Strait of Hormuz, saying it will never return to the pre-war situation. The remark, published Wednesday evening, adds to a series of hardline declarations from Iranian officials in recent days. As The Zioneer reported, former negotiator Mohammad Marandi dismissed Trump's warnings on June 11 and said Tehran is prepared for war. Earlier this week, Iranian parliament spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaee stated military forces were at the highest readiness. The path to a nuclear deal remains uncertain, with the Iranian team publicly ruling out commitments to reverse the status quo in the strait.
