Iran rejects US Hormuz proposal, vows to maintain blockade
BAE NegociosLO·IR · US·about 15 hours ago
Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that the US response to its conditions is insufficient and unclear in parts. The blockade persists, signaling no near-term de-escalation and keeping global energy supply at risk. Uncertainty remains over the exact US position and whether talks can resume.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary has deemed the US response to its seven conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz 'insufficient', maintaining the blockade. Concurrently, a tanker departing the strait was struck by an unidentified projectile, causing damage. This indicates continued friction and a potential escalation of maritime security incidents.
