Iran's ambassador to the UN said Tuesday that the Strait of Hormuz is open for 60 days without tolls, and that what happens after that period depends on negotiations with the US. In a separate statement carried by the same source, the ambassador warned that Iran will respond if Israel violates the memorandum of understanding — including by attacking Lebanon and Hezbollah.
This follows The Zioneer's earlier reporting (same thread, 11:28 Jerusalem) that the ambassador's first message confirmed the 60-day toll-free window and tied its extension to negotiations. The new statement adds an explicitly deterrent dimension: conditioning Iranian restraint on Israel's adherence to the broader framework and on avoiding military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Iran has repeatedly linked progress in US talks to a comprehensive ceasefire across all fronts, including Lebanon (The Zioneer, Jun 15; Jun 19). The ambassador's warning reinforces that position, while the core 60-day clock remains unchanged.
