Ghalibaf mocks US ‘blockade,’ warns of higher gas prices
Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and chief negotiator has mocked the US plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, warning Americans they may soon long for today’s fuel prices.
“Enjoy the current pump figures. With the so-called ‘blockade’, soon you'll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas,” Ghalibaf wrote on X.
He accompanied the message with a mathematical note — (ΔO_BSOH>0 ⇒ f(f(O))>f(O)) — suggesting compounding effects from oil market disruptions tied to the geopolitical situation.
The comment appears to reference the expected ripple effects on energy markets if tensions around the Strait of Hormuz intensify.
