Trump's seven 'lies' called out by Iran as Strait of Hormuz finally re-opens
- Iran sharply criticized US President Donald Trump for making seven false claims in one hour about the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing negotiations, calling his statements baseless according to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
- Iran stated that the Strait of Hormuz is only temporarily open under a ceasefire and no comprehensive deal has been finalized with the US.
- Although Trump claims the Strait is open and safe, he confirmed the US naval blockade on Iranian-linked shipping remains in full force until final negotiations conclude, reflecting ongoing high tensions.
- Iran emphasized that the reality on the ground, not social media, will determine the status of the Strait.
