Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that the dominance of the United States and its allies in the Strait of Hormuz is coming to an end. In a social media post, he accused Washington of endangering regional maritime and energy transport security by violating ceasefire terms and imposing blockades. Ghalibaf warned that a new balance of power is emerging in the strait and suggested that the current situation is becoming intolerable for the U.S.

His remarks came after the United States imposed a naval blockade on all Iranian ports and maritime routes on April 13. In response, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new naval mission called “Project Freedom” aimed at reopening the strategically vital waterway, which is largely under Iranian control. Under the plan, U.S. warships will escort commercial vessels through the passage.

According to Ghalibaf, such actions by Washington could further destabilize the region, though he indicated that Iran would remain firm in its stance.
