The Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that "a new equation in the Strait of Hormuz is taking shape," amid ongoing tensions in the strategic waterway.
"The security of shipping and energy transit has been endangered by the United States and its allies through violating the ceasefire and imposing a blockade; however, their harm will be reduced," Ghalibaf wrote on X on Tuesday.
"The continuation of the current situation is unbearable for the United States," he said.
The US and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28, triggering retaliation from Tehran against Israel as well as US allies in the Gulf, along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
A ceasefire took effect on April 8 through Pakistani mediation, but talks in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting agreement.
The truce was later extended by US President Donald Trump without a set deadline.
Since April 13, the United States has enforced a naval blockade targeting Iranian maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
