Iran claims Trump

The ceasefire reached on April 8 has not reduced tensions between the United States and Iran. Instead, relations have become more strained as Tehran accuses Donald Trump of making misleading statements about the conflict and its aftermath.

Although missile attacks have stopped and negotiations have continued with mediation from Pakistan, both sides remain far from calm. Iran’s warnings show that the conflict is still active in political and economic ways.

A major issue is the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has limited some operations since the fighting began. These restrictions have disrupted oil shipments and tanker routes, including supplies connected to the United States.

Because the strait handles a large share of global oil transport, the disruptions have pushed fuel prices higher. Despite this, Trump has publicly claimed that Iran is weakening and has little advantage in the situation.

Iranian leaders strongly rejected his comments, saying he spread false information. Officials stated that Trump made “seven false claims” in only one hour and accused him of trying to shape public opinion with inaccurate statements.

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Trump’s remarks were completely untrue and would not help either war efforts or diplomatic talks. He warned that if pressure continues, the Strait of Hormuz may not stay fully open.

Ghalibaf added that ships may need Iranian approval and specific routes to pass safely. While Iran had reopened the waterway for business use, officials stressed that future access depends on real conditions and on how the United States chooses to act next.
