Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said Wednesday evening that the war equation is clear: either everyone sells oil or no one does. He warned that if Iran's security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure will be safe, and that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war status, according to reports from Iran. Ghalibaf also said the security of the strait depends on the absence of American forces.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf on Wednesday evening said the war equation is 'either everyone or no one' regarding oil sales. He warned that if Iran's security is not guaranteed, no infrastructure will be safe, and that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war status, with its security dependent on the absence of American forces, according to reports from Iran.
Ghalibaf has made several recent statements on the war and the Strait of Hormuz. As The Zioneer previously reported, on June 17 he said the strait will not return to its pre-war condition, and on June 18 he warned that 'whoever opens fire will bear the consequences.' He has also described the situation as an 'existential war' with the United States and threatened to 'reset the entire board.' The latest remarks tie these themes together, framing the oil market as a collective lever and linking the strait's security to the removal of US forces—a condition that goes beyond the current US-Iran memorandum of understanding.
