rafidainscope - The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament revealed details regarding the management of the recent crisis with the US, asserting that Tehran's threat to launch regional military strikes forced Washington to back down and immediately lift the blockade on

the Strait of Hormuz. He explained that initial understandings indicated the blockade would be lifted after a certain period, but the threat of a comprehensive strike expedited the decision on the very same night. He noted that Iranian pressure compelled

the US administration to retract and correct its statements regarding control over the strait, amid rapid regional escalation that included attacks on strategic facilities and ports in the region.
