Iran's Ghalibaf renews Hormuz closure threat

Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf has issued a renewed threat regarding the Strait of Hormuz in response to the ongoing US naval blockade. He stated that with the continuation of the blockade, the Strait will not remain open, and transit will only be permitted on "defined routes" with Iran's approval. Ghalibaf also launched a sharp critique against US President Donald Trump, accusing him of making seven false claims within a single hour and asserting that the US did not win the war and will not achieve anything in negotiations. He emphasized that the status of the Strait is determined "on the ground, not on social media."
