Iran refuses to trade an opening of the Strait of Hormuz for “empty promises”; the situation could spiral out of control or lead to the closure of the Strait of Mandeb.

ME News Report, April 7 (UTC+8), states that Pakistan continues to convey messages, but the U.S. has not changed its tone. Currently, there are no negotiations with the United States, which hopes Iran will yield under pressure. When we see the U.S. show flexibility, we will also show flexibility. What the U.S. wants is to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran will not exchange an open strait for “hollow promises.” If the U.S. attacks Iran’s power plants, the entire region and Saudi Arabia will fall into darkness. Qatar conveyed Iran’s stance on striking power plants to the U.S. on Monday. If the situation spirals out of control, Iran’s allies will also close the Strait of Mandeb. (Source: PANews)
