Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is set to visit Iran on Sunday for crucial talks on the future of the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran conveyed its terms for reopening the vital waterway to the United States through mediators, according to Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Ghalibaf stated that Iran's conditions and expectations for the negotiation outcome were clearly communicated to the other party through intermediaries.
Failure to meet these conditions, Ghalibaf warned, would make it impossible to restore pre-war Strait of Hormuz conditions or ensure an open passage for global shipping.
Ghalibaf's post on X underscored the precarious position of the United States in the region, likening its situation to "Schrödinger: the empire is in the SOH cabinet with falling plates, projecting hegemony but fully exposed, trying to suffocate Iran without blowback (impossible)." He emphasized that the US's efforts to isolate Iran would be futile, as Iran's response would be unstoppable.
The remarks were supported by a recent analysis from JPMorgan, which noted that analysts are uncertain about how to model the unfolding crisis in the oil market.
Mohsen Rezaei, the head of the Supreme National Security Council, echoed these sentiments during an interview with Al Jazeera. He reiterated Iran's demands for the cessation of hostilities on all fronts, the release of frozen financial assets under Iranian control, and the lifting of the naval blockade imposed by the US and its allies.
Rezaei also cautioned that the US would face a far more formidable Iran should the conflict reignite, citing advancements in Iran's hypersonic missile capabilities, enhanced air defenses, and expanded electronic warfare systems.
Rezaei's comments came alongside a stern warning from Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya central military command. The command threatened that any US misstep in its dealings with Iran would result in relentless attacks on US bases and interests throughout the region, with no bounds or limitations. The message conveyed a stark warning: any attempt by the US to exert pressure on Iran would be met with swift, decisive, and relentless retaliation.
