Tehran [Iran], April 1 (ANI): The head of the national security commission of the Iranian parliament, Ebrahim Azizi, on Wednesday said that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed for those who follow the new rules.
Azizi said that US President Donald Trump has realized the dream of 'regime change,' but in the regime of the region's seas.
'Finally, Trump has reached the dream of 'regime change,' but in the regime of the region's seas! The Strait of Hormuz will certainly be opened; but not for you! For those who follow the new rules of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The 47-year era of hospitality is over,' he said.

Earlier in the day, Trump, while addressing the reporters, said that the US will leave Iran soon.
'All I have to do is leave Iran, and we'll be doing that very soon. And they'll become tumbling down. And stock prices were up today almost to a record, because they know two things. Number one, we have a safe country. We had to take a little detour because we had a madman named Khomeini, who sadly is no longer with us. And we had regime change already. We've knocked out one regime, then we knocked out the second regime. Now we have a group of people that's very... that are very different. They are much more accessible. They... you know, they... are right, you know they said we have a present for you Mr. President out of respect,' he said.
Trump said that he will leave even if they don't have a deal.
'No, they don't have to make a deal with me. When we feel that they are for a long period of time put into the Stone Ages and they won't be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we'll leave, whether we have a deal or not is irrelevant. Now, it's possible that we'll have a deal because they want to make a deal. They want to make a deal more than I want to make a deal. But in a fairly short period of time we'll be finished. They will not be able to do a nuclear weapon for years,' he said.
Trump said that the new regime of Iran is better than the previous one.
'And when they are ready maybe in a long time from now able to do a nuclear weapon, you'll have a president that will be like me and that he will go there and he'll knock the hell out of them again. Because they cannot have a nuclear weapon. They are very radicalized people. Very sick leaderships. And I will say though that the leadership we're dealing with now, the new regime, because we have a new regime, and the new regime is much better than the past. Yeah,' he said. (ANI)
