Ghalibaf: US Giving Ships "False Guarantees" on Hormuz Passage
🏛️ HARDLINERS — Ghalibaf calls US Hormuz guarantees false; 24 ships weekly says he's close. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Ghalibaf is targeting CENTCOM's escorted-transit model — Washington's primary argument that Hormuz is "functionally open." At 24 vessels weekly versus 130 pre-war, the claim is thin. Hardliners want insurers and Asian buyers to hear "false guarantees" and reroute permanently, collapsing escort credibility before any deal can be struck.
