Walter Bloomberg, a financial news account on X, reported on June 13 that Iranian official Ebrahim Rezaei called President Donald Trump’s threat to shut the Strait of Hormuz a “bluff.”
Rezaei also indicated Iran was ready to respond if tensions escalate and mentioned the possibility of additional steps that could affect markets.
Negotiations between the US and Iran meanwhile remain deadlocked. The two sides are still in talks over whether Iran will give up uranium enrichment, but the discussions have been delayed because Tehran has not made a final decision amid security concerns in its internal decision-making process.
