Strait of Hormuz Remains Closed 

“The Strait of Hormuz was largely shut to Western shipping early Sunday, as Iran’s top negotiator said the two countries were far from a final deal to end the war,” the New York Times reports.

“Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the chief Iranian negotiator in talks with the United States, said in a televised address late Saturday that the United States had failed to pressure Iran through ultimatums or secure international backing for the war, which began with a U.S.-Israeli air assault in late February.”

Wall Street Journal: “Iran’s quick reversal of the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz has laid bare a rift between the country’s political leaders and the military hard-liners who have deepened their hold on the government since the war began.”
