'Iran threatens Hormuz closure if US blockade stays'

 Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that the Strait of Hormuz "will not remain open" if the US naval blockade of Iran continues.

"The President of the United States made seven claims in one hour, and all seven claims are false. With such falsehoods, they did not win the war, and they certainly will not achieve anything through negotiations either," Ghalibaf wrote on X. In addition, he reiterated that the traffic through the waterway will be possible only via Iran's designated route and its permission. "Whether the Strait is open or closed, and the rules governing it, will be determined in the field—not on social media," he declared.

"The media war and the shaping of public opinion are an important part of the conflict, and the Iranian nation will not be influenced by these tactics," Ghalibaf concluded. Earlier today, Iran reopened the strait to commercial shipping after the ceasefire in Lebanon took effect.
