Pakistan, July 10 -- Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf warned the United States that any new military strike would trigger a direct response from Tehran. He also said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen only under Iranian arrangements rather than through U.S. military pressure. The warning comes as military tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.

In a statement posted on X, Ghalibaf accused Washington of violating its commitments and relying on intimidation. He said the United States had failed to learn that its actions now carry consequences. "If you strike, you'll get hit," he declared, while rejecting U.S. efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz through force.
