Ghalibaf: US and its allies have jeopardized maritime security in Hormuz Strait

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that US and its allies have jeopardized maritime security and energy transit through their actions in the strategic Hormuz Strait.

In a post on his X account on Tuesday, Ghalibaf wrote that 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.

He further pointed out 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.”

On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, during which then Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several senior military officials were martyred.
