Tehran [Iran], April 1 (ANI): Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security commission, said Wednesday that the Strait of Hormuz “will certainly be opened; but not for you,” adding that access would be for those who follow the “new rules” of the Islamic Republic.
Azizi framed the comment as a form of “regime change” applied to the region’s maritime order. “Finally, Trump has reached the dream of ‘regime change,’ but in the regime of the region’s seas! The Strait of Hormuz will certainly be opened; but not for you! For those who follow the new rules of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The 47-year era of hospitality is over,” he wrote on Twitter.
بالاخره ترامپ به رویای “تغییر رژیم” رسید، اما در رژیم دریایی منطقه!
تنگه هرمز حتما باز میشود؛ اما نه برای شما! برای کسانی که از قوانین جدید جمهوری اسلامی ایران پیروی کنند.
دوران مهمان نوازی ۴۷ ساله تمام شده است.

Earlier the same day, US President Donald Trump told reporters the United States would soon withdraw from Iran and predicted the Iranian government would collapse without prolonged US presence. “All I have to do is leave Iran, and we’ll be doing that very soon. And they’ll become tumbling down,” he said, claiming markets anticipated stability because of US actions.
Trump said Washington could leave even without a deal if it believed Iran would be prevented “for a long period of time” from developing a nuclear weapon. “No, they don’t have to make a deal with me… When we feel that they are for a long period of time put into the Stone Ages and they won’t be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we’ll leave, whether we have a deal or not is irrelevant,” he said, adding that Iran’s new leadership is “much better” than the past but that future US presidents might again use force to prevent a nuclear program.
