Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf confirmed on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) that the continuation of the current situation is unsustainable for America.

Qalibaf said via the "X" platform that the new equation in the Strait of Hormuz is currently being established, affirming that navigation security and energy transit are at risk by the United States and its allies through violating the ceasefire and imposing the blockade, and certainly their evil will end soon.

Qalibaf pointed out that the continuation of the current situation is unsustainable for America, stating: "We well realize that the continuation of the current situation is something the United States cannot bear, while we have not started yet."

Qalibaf's statements come amid escalating tension in the Strait of Hormuz following a series of attacks targeting commercial ships, and increasing US military activity in the region, in the context of the war that erupted since February 28 between the United States and Iran, where Tehran reinforced the policy of "changing transit rules" in the strait, imposing new procedures on ships not affiliated with Washington or Tel Aviv.
