Rezaei: Hormuz Strait remains closed unless U.S. policy shifts
Reports have indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump accused Iran of evasion and dishonesty during negotiations, emphasizing that the United States is frustrated with Tehran’s approach to diplomacy. Trump revealed three strategies that Washington is pursuing in dealing with Iran: continuing economic pressure and sanctions, launching strong military strikes, or defeating Iran economically. He pointed out that Iran is currently experiencing a severe economic downturn, including a decline in the currency’s value and a halt to soldiers’ salaries. He also reaffirmed that the United States is prepared to strike Iran forcefully if necessary. Meanwhile, Iran has raised its rhetoric and is demanding a change in U.S. behavior before allowing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to block the strait until Iran's conditions are met. Iran also called on Saudi Arabia to cease its pressures on Yemen, describing Saudi escalation as harmful to the Muslim nation. Meanwhile, Washington insists that its economic pressure strategy is yielding results, even as Iran’s economy continues to deteriorate.
