Strait of Hormuz will be opened, but not for you: Iran tells Donald Trump

Tehran: The head of the national security commission of the Iranian parliament, Ebrahim Azizi, on Wednesday said that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed for those who follow the new rules.

Azizi said that US President Donald Trump has realized the dream of "regime change," but in the regime of the region's seas.

"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 said.

Earlier in the day, Trump, while addressing the reporters, said that the US will leave Iran soon.

"All I have to do is leave Iran, and we'll be doing that very soon. And they'll become tumbling down. And stock prices were up today almost to a record, because they know two things. Number one, we have a safe country. We had to take a little detour because we had a madman named Khomeini, who sadly is no longer with us. And we had regime change already. We've knocked out one regime, then we knocked out the second regime. Now we have a group of people that's very... that are very different. They are much more accessible. They... you know, they... are right, you know they said we have a present for you Mr. President out of respect," he said.

Trump said that he will leave even if they don't have a deal. (ANI)
