Doctor, there is talk of a cease- fire.

What is your opinion about a cease- fire and closing the Strait of Hormuz by Iran?

The Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened.

No American warship has the right to enter the Persian Gulf.

The presence of America in the Persian Gulf is the main factor behind

the insecurity of the past fifty years.

Without America leaving the Persian Gulf and control of the

Strait of Hormuz being in the hands of the countries of the region,

especially us and the country of Oman, which are on the two sides of this strait,

it is impossible for security to be established.

The end of the war is also in our hands.

We will consider an end to the war when, first of all,

we have taken all our damages from America.

Second, we must reach a one hundred percent guarantee

about the future that, without America leaving the Persian Gulf, is not achievable.

Therefore, the second condition is America leaving the Persian Gulf.
