TEHRAN (Defapress) - In response to Trump's threat to block the Strait of Hormuz, the Speaker of the Parliament, Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, published a picture of the latest gasoline prices at gas stations around the White House and wrote:  Enjoy the current pump figures. With the so-called "blockade," soon you'll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas.

At the end, Ghalibaf also published a new formula for oil prices to show that blocking the Strait of Hormuz again will cause prices to rise even more and will plunge Trump further into the oil price quagmire that he himself created.
