The important lesson of the American elections for Kleebaf and Rouhani / when a "closed strait" was more effective than an "open strait" The decisive and significant defeat of Trump's allies and the Republican candidates in the US congressional elections, according to the admission of senior officials in this country, such as Trump, is affected by the energy price shock due to the blockade and management of the Straits of Hormuz in Iran. This issue, beyond America's borders, carries important lessons for politicians who support negotiations in Tehran. Over the past few months, two identical comments by Mohammad Bakr Kalibaf and Hassan Rouhani have been published, the re-reading of which provides a clear picture of the miscalculations of Iranian officials and political figures. Muhammad Bagher Khalibaf, the head of the negotiating team, claimed in his television interview on June 30 this year that the strait is valuable when the traffic in it is increasing day by day and we must do something for this strait to prosper. Hassan Rouhani, in one of his meetings with JCPOA government officials, continued his line and stated that: "The Strait of Hormuz should be prosperous and a security lever for us; what is the use of the strait that is not sent? "We don't want to disrupt world trade." But the result of the American elections proved that the approach of these two people is at odds with the reality on the ground. As you can see, "closed strait" was much more effective than "open strait" at least in the short term, and even if you look at it from a negotiating point of view, it put Iran in a better position.
