The spokesperson for the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, Kashkavi, said Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status and that nuclear negotiations with the US are 'irrelevant and do not exist,' according to the source.
The spokesperson for the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, identified as Kashkavi, said Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status and that nuclear negotiations with the United States are 'irrelevant and do not exist.' The statement, reported by the source, marks a hardening of rhetoric: earlier on Sunday, an analyst noted that the same spokesperson had previously avoided addressing the nuclear issue. The new declaration aligns with recent statements by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and other officials, who have insisted that the Strait of Hormuz is the central dispute and that nuclear talks are off the table until the US meets its commitments. The claim has not been independently verified.
