Iran has issued a stern warning regarding the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that the key maritime route could be closed if the United States persists with its naval blockade. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament, took to social media platform X to denounce US President Donald Trump's recent statements, claiming that all seven assertions made by Trump in a single hour were false. Qalibaf emphasized that the US approach would not be effective, stating that previous lies did not lead to victory in conflict and would not facilitate successful negotiations. He reiterated Iran's stance on controlling passage through the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that any transit would require Iranian authorization and adherence to designated routes. This exchange underscores the rising tensions surrounding this strategically significant waterway, crucial for global oil transportation.
