Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused US President Donald Trump of making “seven false claims in one hour,” while reiterating Tehran’s intention to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to what it describes as a US blockade, contradicting Trump’s assertion that the route remains “open for business.”
Ghalibaf said Trump made “seven claims in one hour,” all of which were “false,” though he did not specify the statements in question.
Ghalibaf wrote on social media platform X that if the blockade continues, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open. He emphasised that passage through the strait would take place only along a “designated route” and would require authorisation from Iran.
Ghalibaf warned that such “lies” would not lead to success in either war or negotiations. He also cautioned that the Strait of Hormuz would not remain open if the blockade continues.
He further said that the status of the Hormuz and the rules governing it would be determined by developments on the ground rather than statements made on social media. The remarks come amid ongoing exchanges between US and Iranian officials online, with both sides increasingly using these platforms for key announcements and responses.
He also said that media warfare and efforts to shape public opinion are key components of the conflict, asserting that Iran would not be influenced by such tactics.
