But they must understand that the ⁠period of dragging out the process ‌and dictating one-sided demands is over," Mr. Qalibaf was quoted as saying."The position of the Islamic Republic of ‌Iran is completely clear and ​firm, and the Strait of Hormuz ⁠will not be opened until ⁠our seven conditions, based on the ‌Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, are met," he said.
