Iran has reacted strongly to U.S. President Donald Trump’s warning about a possible blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, with senior officials issuing pointed remarks.
Trump had earlier stated that the United States could move to block “every ship” passing through the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns about global trade and energy supply.
In response, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf shared an image showing fuel prices near the White House and made a remark suggesting people should “enjoy” the situation. His statement appeared to criticize the potential economic impact of such actions.
Ghalibaf also warned that fuel prices in the United States could rise sharply, possibly reaching up to $5 per gallon. He added that the country could face increased pressure due to higher energy costs.
The exchange highlights rising tensions between the two sides, with both making strong public statements.
The developments are being closely watched, as they may influence global energy markets and ongoing diplomatic relations in the region.
