Iran parliament speaker says Strait of Hormuz will be 'free from American presence'

Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf vowed on Thursday that his country's control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz would ensure a future without U.S. presence in the area.

"Today, by managing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran will provide itself and its neighbours with the precious blessing of a future free from American presence and interference," said Ghalibaf in a post on X to mark the national "Persian Gulf" day.
