Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran\u2019s parliament speaker and top negotiator, has told Al Jazeera that the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> will \u201cnever return\u201d to its status prior to the US-Israel war on Iran.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview published on Wednesday, Ghalibaf said Iran and Oman reached an understanding to oversee the critical waterway as part of Tehran\u2019s seven-point proposal<\/a> to end the eight-month conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no \u2018free waters\u2019 [international waters] there, and the 1982 [UN Convention on the Law of the Sea] does not apply to the strait \u2026 The regulations within the Strait of Hormuz are governed by the laws of the two littoral states that border it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Seven conditions<\/h3>\n

Ghalibaf said Tehran provided a clear response to the US through a Qatari mediator that included its seven conditions for peace talks, adding that Iran is waiting for an official response.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ball is now in the American court,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s conditions, as outlined by the chief negotiator, include lifting the US-imposed naval blockade and sanctions, the release of Iranian frozen funds, ending fighting on all fronts, and an explicit announcement of an end to the war.<\/p>\n

He said these demands were part of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding<\/a> signed in June and their implementation was necessary before entering negotiations with the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf America limits itself to what has been agreed upon without making excessive demands or engaging in behaviour that breeds distrust, then, naturally, reaching an agreement is possible,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat stands in the way of an agreement is our lack of trust in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Renewed conflict<\/h3>\n

Ghalibaf said US officials asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to mediate direct negotiations with Tehran during a visit to Moscow.<\/p>\n

He warned against new US attacks against Iran, saying that US President Donald Trump will face another defeat and political pressure<\/a> from the new Congress that takes office in January.<\/p>\n

Iran is determined to move beyond a state of \u201cno war and no peace\u201d, he said, urging a sustainable deterrent capability, including military capabilities.<\/p>\n

Yemen mediation<\/h3>\n

On the ongoing fighting in Yemen between the Saudi-backed internationally recognised government forces and the Houthis, an armed group also known as Ansar Allah (Arabic for \u201cSupporters of God\u201d), Ghalibaf said that \u201cno one should interfere\u201d in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf both the government in Yemen and Saudi Arabia were to ask for our help, we would certainly offer our assistance to help resolve their conflict,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

Iran has previously offered<\/a> to facilitate talks between Saudi Arabia and Yemen\u2019s Houthi group in October following a series of deadly attacks<\/a> on the kingdom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
