Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf responded to US strikes Thursday morning, warning that 'if you strike, you will be hit' and that the Strait of Hormuz will only open according to Iranian arrangements, not under American threats, according to reports.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a direct warning to the United States at 09:08 Thursday, responding to American strikes with a statement that the Strait of Hormuz will open only on Iranian terms. 'If you strike, you will be hit,' he said, adding that the US has not yet understood that 'bullying and violating commitments no longer go without a price.'
The statement follows a similar warning from Ghalibaf at 08:03 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported, in which he said the US has not learned that bullying has a price. The new remarks are more specific, tying the Strait of Hormuz's status directly to the refusal to bow to American threats. The comments come amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz and broader regional hostilities.
