“A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by a naval blockade and taking the world economy hostage (…) “Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible in the event of such flagrant ceasefire violations.” — wrote Ghalibaf on X.
Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz
Since the outbreak of the US and Israel's war with Iran on February 28, there have been serious shipping restrictions in the Middle East, which are disrupting the transport of oil and gas from the region, causing an increase in the prices of these raw materials.
Donald Trump extended the truce with Iran
It is unclear whether the previously announced second round of peace negotiations brokered by Pakistan will take place.
Iran: Trump's threats a major obstacle
The main obstacle to real negotiations are American ceasefire violations and threats, Pezeszkian wrote on Wednesday in X. He added that “the world sees the hypocritical rhetoric (of the US) and the contradiction between declarations and deeds.”
The agreement ending the war would cover, among others: Iran's nuclear program. Trump declared several times that he had reached an agreement with Iran on this matter, which was denied by the signals coming from Tehran. In addition to information about the imminent conclusion of an agreement with Iran, the American president has also in recent days repeated threats of attacks on Iranian bridges and power plants if Tehran does not agree to the conditions he sets.
