A source close to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf claimed Tuesday evening that the return of US sanctions has made a confrontation with the United States in the coming hours 'serious,' and that Iran is preparing to escalate its aggressive steps in the Strait of Hormuz. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the US move as a 'blatant violation' of the memorandum of understanding and said the chances of a final agreement have become 'gloomiest.'
The claim, attributed to a single anonymous source, could not be immediately verified. The Zioneer has documented the progressive deterioration of US-Iran relations in recent weeks, including the collapse of the MOU and repeated rounds of sanctions and threats. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, has been a focal point of Iranian escalation tactics.
