US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that no talks with Iran were underway or scheduled and declared the Strait of Hormuz “open and operating.”
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Hormuz would not reopen until the United States lifted its blockade of Iranian ports and oil sanctions, released Tehran’s frozen assets, and ended military threats and operations on all fronts.
On June 17, Washington and Tehran signed an interim memorandum providing up to 60 days for broader negotiations. Trump declared the arrangement “over” on July 7, while Iran suspended it a week later. The negotiating period expired on Monday without a permanent agreement.
The strait carried about one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flows before the US-Israeli war with Iran began on February 28, but shipping through the waterway has slowed sharply, with only five cargo vessels crossing on August 16 and none recorded on August 15, according to ship-tracking firm Kpler.
