Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said a “new equation” is emerging in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that the US and its allies themselves have endangered maritime security and energy transit through their actions.
In a post on his X account, Ghalibaf said the security of shipping and energy transit has been put at risk by the US and its allies through violation of the ceasefire and the imposition of a naval blockade on Iran.
“Nevertheless, their evil will certainly be reduced,” the Iranian speaker added.
معادلهٔ جدید تنگهٔ هرمز در حال تثبیت است. امنیت کشتیرانی و ترانزیت انرژی به دست آمریکا و متحدانش با نقض آتشبس و اعمال محاصره به خطر افتاده است؛ البته شرّشان کم خواهد شد.

خوب میدانیم که استمرار وضع موجود برای آمریکا غیر قابل تحمل است؛ درحالی که ما هنوز حتی شروع هم نکردهایم.
Ghalibaf further stated that Iran is fully aware that continuation of the current situation is intolerable for the United States, while emphasizing that Iran “has not even started yet.”
For his part, A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said the US has failed to achieve its objectives regarding the Strait of Hormuz despite mobilizing all its capabilities during and after the 40-day war of aggression against Iran.
Speaking about the latest regional developments, IRGC Deputy Commander for Political Affairs General Yadollah Javani said the US is exerting all its power in a confrontation with Iran but will ultimately suffer defeat.
He stated that US President Donald Trump’s main problem today is reopening the Strait of Hormuz, adding that Washington made every possible effort during the 40-day war against Iran and afterwards to resolve it but failed to obtain results.
The IRGC official further stressed that Trump is in no way capable of turning the clock back to the conditions that existed before February 28 or changing the current situation, referring to the date when the US and the Zionist entity launched a wide-scale aggression on Iran.
