Iran’s Parliament speaker has accused US President Donald Trump of making “seven false claims” in a single hour regarding the war with Iran. This comes as the two-week US-Iran ceasefire enters its final days. While Trump has flooded social media with celebratory claims of a sweeping “transaction,” Tehran refuses to accept US terms on nuclear material and the naval blockade.
“The President of the United States made seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false,” speaker of Iran’s parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X.
“They did not win the war with these lies, and they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either. With the continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open,” he added.
Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday said that the passage is “completely open” to commercial vessels “for the remaining period of the ceasefire” and only along routes coordinated by Iranian authorities.
Ghalibaf’s warning links directly to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports. Trump has said the blockade will remain “in full force” until what he called a “transaction” with Iran is fully complete.
Iran, in turn, has said that continued restrictions could lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
