Hormuz Won’t Return to Pre-War Status: Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf

In his post on X, Galibaf said, “The situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war state.”

Trump’s remarks come as rising tensions in the region following ongoing military conflicts involving the United States, Israel and Iran raise concerns about the stability of global energy supply chains.

Meanwhile, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard defended President Donald Trump’s decision regarding Iran and emphasized that the President has the authority to identify threats to national security.

“Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief,” Gabbard said in a statement published on

He also underscored the role of the intelligence community, saying: “The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best available information to inform their decisions.”

Gabbard added that after reviewing available intelligence, Trump concluded that Iran posed an imminent threat.

“After carefully reviewing all the information available to him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and took action based on that conclusion,” he said.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that the Strait of Hormuz would be secured soon, saying it “won’t take too long” even though NATO countries will not assist in the ongoing conflict with Iran, CNN reported.

“I don’t believe it’s going to take very long. We’re completely destroying the coast. We’re basically talking about the coast and the water. And it’s not going to last very long,” Trump told reporters, according to CNN.
