Iran will shut the strait of Hormuz if the US blockade continues, Iran’s parliamentary speaker has warned.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf also said passage through the waterway would depend on authorisation from Iran, while swiping at Donald Trump in the series of posts on X.
Ghalibaf said (in a translation):
1 - "The President of the United States made seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false.
2 – They did not win the war with these lies, and they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either.”
Ghalibaf, who last weekend co-led the Iranian side in negotiations with the US in Islamabad that failed to reach an agreement, continued in his posts:
3 –" With the continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open.
4 – Passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be conducted based on the “designated route” and with “Iranian authorization”.
Whether the strait was open or closed and the regulations governing it “will be determined by the field, not by social media”, Ghalibaf added.
