At the same time, Bakay said that the decision to respond to the letter of J. Dee Vance is of Mohsen Razai, Secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security. The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic also emphasized that the exchange of messages between Tehran and Washington continues. Regarding the "change in America's tone" in Vance's letter to Moshan Razai, Bakay continued: "Differences in the tone of writing letters are a common thing, for us the performance of the American administration, which so far has proven that it has no initiative in the field of diplomacy, is important." He added: "There will be no agreement and the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened or secured unless the US naval blockade ends and our legitimate demands are implemented."
