  "summary": "Iran's political adviser, Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr, has stated that the country will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are removed from power. This stance is part of Iran's response to the conflict and is seen as the \"first stage of our people's revenge,\" according to Zolghadr. He emphasized Iran's determination to retaliate against those responsible for the deaths during the conflict and highlighted the country's resilience in the face of perceived threats, calling the expectation of a quick defeat by its opponents \"a false illusion.\" The Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for oil and gas shipments, has been subject to disruptions, raising concerns over energy supplies and international shipping.",
