Pakistan said that although communication continues, the U.S. position has not changed, and it still hopes Iran will make concessions under pressure. Iran refused to exchange an “empty promise” for an opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and warned that if the United States attacks its power plants, it will trigger instability in the region. Qatar has conveyed this position to the United States, and if the situation gets out of control, Iran’s allies may close the Strait of Mandeb.

ME News message, April 7 (UTC+8), says that Pakistan continues to convey information, but the U.S. has not changed its tone. There are currently no negotiations with the United States; the U.S. wants Iran to submit 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; Iran will not use an open strait to exchange for a false, hollow “promise.” If the U.S. attacks Iran’s power plants, the entire region—and Saudi Arabia as well—will plunge into darkness. Qatar relayed Iran’s position on strikes against power plants to the United States on Monday. If the situation gets out of control, Iran’s allies will also close the Strait of Mandeb.
