Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has dismissed a US claim that Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz, according to Mehr News.
Ghalibaf argued that market pricing tells a different story than the US assertion, suggesting that economic indicators reflect Iran's influence over the strategically important waterway.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping route for oil exports, and statements about control over the passage carry significant weight given its importance to international energy markets.
The report did not specify which particular US claim or official statement Ghalibaf was responding to, nor did it detail further specifics about the market data he referenced.
