Iran Negotiator: Hormuz Will Never Return to Pre-War Status
⚓ HORMUZ — Iran's negotiator: the strait is changed forever, law or no law. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: "Will never return" decouples compliance from restoration — Iran follows maritime law while permanently rewriting assumptions for every insurer and Gulf state. Tehran just set its floor: any deal preserves Iranian leverage over the strait. Washington no longer negotiates to reopen Hormuz — it negotiates to manage a permanently altered chokepoint.
