Ghalibaf issued a public message on his X account on Sunday, responding to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent claims about the possibility of blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
The parliament speaker wrote: “Enjoy the current pump figures. With the so-called ‘blockade’, Soon you’ll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas.”
He also published the formula: “ΔO_BSOH>0 ⇒ f(f(O))>f(O),” highlighting the potential rise in global oil prices should the strait be obstructed, arguing that such a move would fuel further instability in the energy market and create economic problems for the United States.
Trump, speaking on Sunday in an interview with Fox News, referenced the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz for global energy trade and claimed the U.S. could block the passage if necessary.
He said that such an action would require planning and time, while adding that harsher options against Iran were under consideration if ongoing negotiations failed.
His comments suggested that U.S. decision‑makers were evaluating high‑risk scenarios amid escalating tensions.
