Yes. On October 4, 2026, Iran’s parliament speaker and lead negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until Iran’s seven conditions based on the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding are met. Reporting by The National and other outlets places the statement amid stalled indirect U.S.–Iran talks and active Qatari-mediated backchannels. Ghalibaf also said Iran would both fight and negotiate while keeping that position firm.
