Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, has declared that the management of the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war state. Following negotiations in Switzerland, he praised the diplomatic efforts that successfully lifted the blockade without resorting to destructive military action.
Qalibaf emphasized a continuous lack of trust in the United States and noted that Israel strongly opposes the diplomatic process. He argued that lifting the blockade militarily would have caused significant damage and massive global disruptions.
Former United States officials suggest that Washington is implicitly allowing Tehran to maintain control over the Strait. Since the conflict began, Iran has retained its grip on this crucial waterway, which is vital for global energy transit.
