Iran has publicly accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of spreading falsehoods regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a senior Iranian official, specifically cited seven alleged lies from Trump about the critical maritime passage.
Ghalibaf's statement directly challenges Trump's assertions and reaffirms Tehran's position that the strait remains under its sovereign control. The official did not detail the specific claims but framed them as part of a broader pattern of misinformation.
