[Senior Iranian Official: The U.S. Seeks to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz] Odaily Planet Daily News – A senior Iranian official stated that the U.S. seeks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran will not open the strait for 'empty promises.' If the U.S. attacks Iran's power plants, the entire region, including Saudi Arabia, will be plunged into complete darkness. When the U.S. demonstrates flexibility, Iran will also show flexibility. If the situation spirals out of control, Iran's allies will also close the Mandeb Strait shipping lane. (Jin10)
