Iranian Lawmaker to Trump: ‘You Threaten, We Act’
WANA (Jun 22) – The Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee issued a rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump over his recent threats regarding the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that the strategic waterway is under Iranian sovereignty.

The escalation highlights deep rhetorical contradictions within the American administration. While Trump issued the public warning, J.D. Vance—the head of the U.S. delegation at the Swiss summit—had previously claimed that Trump had explicitly mandated the American team to guarantee a comprehensive ceasefire across the region.
