Ghalibaf mocks US blockade, says Iran’s borders too vast to seal

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf mocked the US naval blockade against Iran, arguing that the country’s borders are too vast to be sealed off.

“If you build two walls, one from NYC to the West Coast and another from LA to the East Coast, the total length will be 7,755 km, which is still about 1,000 km short of Iran’s total borders. Good luck blockading a country with those borders😁,” Ghalibaf wrote in a post on X.

In a jab at US War Secretary Pete Hegseth, he added: “P.S. For Pete Hegseth: 1 km = 0.62 mi.”
