Iran Rules Out Nuclear Concessions, Threatens to Keep Hormuz Closed

Iran has signaled it will not make any concessions on its nuclear program amid ongoing tensions with the United States. An anonymous Iranian official stated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until Washington meets all of Tehran's conditions.
