  "summary": "Iran has stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States fulfills its commitments under a June agreement and meets Tehran's conditions. The country's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, conveyed Iran's conditions to the opposing side through intermediaries, according to state broadcaster IRIB. The reopening of the strait is contingent upon US commitments, which include lifting the blockade of Iranian ports, ending oil sanctions, and other measures. Iran has emphasized that the path of deception and unilateral imposition is closed, signaling that negotiations will not resume until its rights are recognized and US commitments are met. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for global oil and gas shipments, with traffic levels currently far below pre-war levels due to ongoing tensions.",
