The spokesman of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baka'i:
- The Iranian plan for two days embodies diplomacy backed by strength, is a clear message to the American side, and demonstrates that Iran represents the central factor in the consolidation of stability and security in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf.
- Reaching an agreement and establishing security in the Persian Gulf depend on a wise American decision and the understanding of the message that American society conveys from the inside.
The Iranian plan remains on the table as the most logical, practical and organized road map. Restoring security to the arteries of global energy requires real political will on the part of the other side to get out of the impasse caused by aggression.
