Ghalibaf says 'no one will be able to sell oil in region where Iran can't'

Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned that "no one will be able to sell oil in a region where Tehran cannot", according to Mehr News Agency. In response to US Central Command commander Admiral Brad Cooper's claim that American forces had achieved full control of the Strait of Hormuz and halted Iran's oil exports, Ghalibaf emphasized the clear equation of the war: "either all or none".

He stated that the security of the Strait of Hormuz depends on the absence of US troops, asserting that if their security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe.
