Iran’s parliamentary speaker says strait could close again if US blockade continues, but Trump says it will remain in place until ‘transaction’ with Tehran is complete
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X on Friday.
Is Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi lying by declaring it?
What is your angle here.
Edit: lol “downvote all you want” they write, after adding a bunch of qualifications to their extremely inaccurate and inflammatory post that was easily debunked.
In the meantime since the declaration yesterday, dozens of tankers went through the Strait, illustrating it was open. Then the USA intercepted several of them… And now Iran has declared it closed again, exactly as they said they would if the tankers were intercepted. So now, as of 20 minutes ago, Iran has declared it closed again.
slow clap again for the US, and the fine leadership they’ve voted in twice now
Except, that they did.
