Odaily Planet Daily reported that a senior Iranian official stated the U.S. seeks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran will not do so for "hollow promises." If the U.S. attacks Iran's power plants, the entire region and Saudi Arabia will fall into complete darkness. When the U.S. shows flexibility, Iran will also show flexibility. If the situation spirals out of control, Iran's allies will also close the Strait of Mandeb shipping lane. (Jin10)
