Iran: Hormuz Strait will not reopen under US pressure

Odaily reported on July 16 local time that the Iranian Embassy in Lebanon issued a statement stating that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen under US pressure, and will only resume navigation according to "conditions set by Iran." The statement said that the United States should accept this reality, and there are only two ways to resolve the related issues: through dialogue or by accepting that Iranian military forces will compel compliance with "conditions set by Iran."
