Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has stated that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not return to pre-war conditions, adding that if Iran is barred from selling oil in the region, then “no one will sell oil”.

“The equation of this war is clear: either all or none!” he writes on X. “In a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil. If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe, and the security of the strait is in the absence of American forces.”
