Iran has declared it remains in full control of the Strait of Hormuz and is not seeking to resume peace negotiations with the United States.
The statement follows President Donald Trump's decision to halt a two-week bombing campaign against Iranian targets.
Tehran's hardline stance signals that the pause in hostilities has not translated into a diplomatic opening, leaving the critical energy chokepoint under Iranian authority and shipping routes exposed to continued risk.
The refusal to engage in talks undermines hopes that the cessation of strikes would lead to a rapid de-escalation.
With Iran asserting its dominance over the strait, the threat of renewed disruptions to oil and gas flows persists.
This development maintains pressure on global energy markets, where traders have been pricing in the risk of supply interruptions from the region.
