Tensions in West Asia take a sharper turn as Iran directly calls out US President Donald Trump over what it describes as “seven false claims” made within a short span of time. In a strongly worded response, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf accuses Trump of distorting both military realities and diplomatic efforts, escalating an already volatile situation. While Iran has allowed conditional reopening for commercial vessels, authorities have imposed tightly monitored transit routes under direct oversight. The message is clear: access to Hormuz is no longer guaranteed and will depend on what Iranian officials describe as “field conditions.” WATCH
