Iran: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has shared a photo showing gasoline prices at fuel stations near the White House and wrote that Americans should enjoy current prices, warning that in the event of blocking the Strait of Hormuz by the US, the American people would soon miss gasoline at four to five dollars. Ghalibaf issued a public message on his X account on Sunday, responding to US President Donald Trump's recent claims about the possibility of blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the parliament speaker wrote: 'Enjoy the current pump figures. With the so-called 'blockade', Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4-$5 gas.' He also published the formula: '?O_BSOH and gt;0 ? f(f(O)) and gt;f(O),' highlighting the potential rise in global oil prices should the strait be obstructed, arguing that such a move would fuel further instability in the energy market and create economic problems for the United States.

Trump, speaking on Sunday in an interview with Fox News, referenced the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz for global energy trade and claimed the US could block the passage if necessary. He said that such an action would require planning and time, while adding that harsher options against Iran were under consideration if ongoing negotiations failed. His comments suggested that US decision-makers were evaluating high-risk scenarios amid escalating tensions.

In his remarks, Trump warned that any action from Iran would be met with a response, although he also reiterated that reaching an agreement with Iran remained possible, saying a good deal would benefit all parties. The latest round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington, held in Islamabad with Pakistan mediating, ended without an agreement after nearly 21 hours of intensive discussions.

A source close to the Iranian negotiating team told IRNA that the US delegation requested both the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the transfer of enriched uranium, demands Iran rejected as excessive. The source added that US Vice President J.D. Vance attempted to portray Iran as responsible for delays, while Tehran maintains that Washington's demands are the main obstacle to progress.
