Iran vows to halt regional oil sales if barred from exporting

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned that no country in the Middle East will be able to sell oil if Iran is prevented from exporting its own crude.

“If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe, and the security of the Strait [of Hormuz] lies in the disappearance of the American army,” Ghalibaf wrote on X.

معادلهٔ این جنگ مشخص است: یا همه یا هیچکس!

در منطقه‌ای که ما نفت نفروشیم، کسی نفت نخواهد فروخت. اگر امنیت ما تأمین نشود، هیچ زیرساختی ایمن نخواهد بود و امنیت تنگه در نبود نیروهای آمریکایی است. بارها گفته‌ایم که وضعیت تنگه به قبل از جنگ باز نمی‌گردد.

The senior Iranian lawmaker also recalled that Tehran has repeatedly warned other countries that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz would not return to its pre-war state.
