Iranian officials blamed the United States for the deadlock in peace talks and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, saying that Tehran would never succumb to Washington's ‘slaughter’. The Iranian parliamentarian, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibof, said that it is not possible to open the Strait of Hormuz in the US naval blockade and reopen the system of Hormuz due to the violation of the monstrous spirit of the people and the violation of the public truce.
