Storyline
The new equation of the Strait of Hormuz is in the process of being solidified, said Iranian Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Tuesday.
In a post on social media platform X, Ghalibaf published that the security of shipping and energy transit have been jeopardized by the U.S. and its allies by violating the ceasefire and imposing blockades.
He also said that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for the U.S., while Iran has not even begun yet.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that the U.S. would begin guiding ships out of the Strait of Hormuz on Monday morning, describing the move, named Project Freedom, as a "humanitarian gesture."
