Iranian MP demands Hormuz control or return to war

The end of US-Iran ceasefire should not lead to an extension unless Iran’s demands, including control over the Strait of Hormuz, are recognized, an Iranian lawmaker said on Tuesday.

“The end of the ceasefire must not lead to its extension. Either Iran’s rights, including our control over the Strait of Hormuz, are recognized, or we return to war,” said Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for parliament’s national security committee.

He also warned in a post on X that failing to secure Iran’s demands would mean the continuation of war by the United States and Israel.
