Ghalibaf, in a post in English on X on Sunday, stated that Trump's actions are leading the United States "into a living hell." "Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living hell for every family, and our entire region will burn because you insist on following Netanyahu's (Benjamin, note) orders," wrote Ghalibaf, emphasizing that a diplomatic solution remains the only path to easing tensions. His remarks came after Trump reiterated a deadline for Iran to reach an agreement with the United States and open the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil transportation. Trump warned Iran that otherwise, U.S. forces would target Iranian energy infrastructure. In an interview with Fox News, Trump also announced that the U.S. could seize Iranian oil if Tehran does not reach an agreement.
