Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that “Iran, by exercising control over the Strait of Hormuz, will ensure that it and its neighbours enjoy the precious blessing of a future free from the presence and interference of America”.

“In the year 1622 AD, after 115 years of occupation, we expelled the European colonisers from the Persian Gulf, and we celebrate Persian Gulf Day in honour of this victory,” he wrote on X.
