Response of an Iranian official to Trump's rhetoric

🔺🔻Response of an Iranian official to Trump's rhetoric 🔹An Iranian security official responded to statements made by Donald Trump, the U.S. President, regarding the control of the Strait of Hormuz and the claim of "significant damages that Iran has incurred," emphasizing that "field realities will not be altered by media rhetoric." 🔹In an exclusive interview with RT, this Iranian security official stated: "The operational reality is that in the past 48 hours, a total of 20 vessels, including seven on Saturday morning and 13 the night before, have been stopped while passing through the Strait of Hormuz." 🔹The Iranian official added: "There is no operational and sustainable mechanism for safe navigation through this strategic waterway outside of the framework established and approved by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Donald Trump cannot calm energy markets or hide the costs of his blockade and hostile policies through statements and social media posts." 🔹These remarks were made after Trump rejected Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. In his anti-Iranian rhetoric, the President claimed: "He rejects any agreement that Iran may want to immediately reopen trade, as it incurs significant losses." 🔹He also claimed in statements to reporters at the White House that an unprecedented volume of oil was transferred through the Strait of Hormuz last night, exceeding figures recorded before the U.S. war with Iran. 🔹ISNA
