Trump shuts down talk of Iran negotiations, says Hormuz is open

Top Iranian negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said in comments published by state media on Tuesday that the strait would remain shut until the US met the conditions of an interim deal signed with Iran in June.

These conditions include the US lifting its blockade of Iranian ports, lifting oil sanctions, releasing Tehran's frozen assets, and ending threats and military operations on all fronts, Qalibaf told parliament.
