Iran's parliament speaker says no deal with U.S. until Iranian rights secured

Iran's Parliament Speaker Qalibaf rejected any agreement with Washington until Iranian rights are "tangibly secured," while the IRGC reported 28 vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz under its supervision in 24 hours. The stalemate over Hormuz passage — still closed to U.S.- and Israel-affiliated ships — keeps global oil and container shipping routes structurally at risk, a factor that should remain in any supply chain and energy cost forecast for Q3 2026.
