For the Iranians,

their control of the Strait of Hormuz and 20% of these international energy supplies

is an issue that does not cost them much,

and they cannot match American and Israeli air superiority,

but they managed to respond in the traditional way that they possess today.

The concept of

the Strait of Hormuz has changed in terms of concepts, meaning Iran has begun

to see the Strait of Hormuz differently

from how the regional states have used and planned for it.

It looks at the Strait of Hormuz in a different way. I was trying to say

that they and I are not proportionate in this war, this unpopular war,

and I wanted to add to what Mr.

Tim said: there are people who want this war to continue,

among them Benjamin Netanyahu,

because the interests of the United States and Israel— we can talk about them

later— but the interests of the United States and Israel are different in this war.

Whenever there is a diplomatic opening, Israel escalates or kills the negotiator,

or does both, and this is what we have seen so far. As for the Iranians, they…

Their control of the Strait of Hormuz and 20% of these international energy supplies

is an issue that does not cost them much.

And they cannot match American and Israeli air superiority,

but they still managed to respond in the traditional way they possess,

and in the end this issue concerns their own territory, so

this shows us how complex this operation is,

even if you are the superpower in the world that runs the strongest army in

human history, there will still be major challenges.

Talking about negotiations today must truly reflect the reality on the ground.

First, today we are at a stage where all the geostrategic shifts have

become apparent.

I spoke in the introduction, at its end, about geostrategic topics.

Today everyone has tried the plan,

and thus things that were not expected have been revealed,

meaning it has become clear that there are those who endure and those who strike,

and it has also revealed the limits of American military power.

This is very important.

I mean Trump only used the“ Mother of all bombs.” I am talking about ten thousand…

Twenty- eight kilograms of explosives is less than nuclear so far,

and Iran is still holding

on at the bare minimum. There are those who endure, and there are those who strike.

Today this concept is understood.

The Strait of Hormuz has changed in terms of concepts, meaning Iran has started to

see the Strait of Hormuz differently.

From how it was used and planned for by the countries of the region,

they look at the Strait of Hormuz in a different way.

The world looks at the Strait of Hormuz, we talked about Oman and Iran,

this is not what matters. Meaning Iran wants to, but is not able. Dr.

Frihat talked about the issue, or Dr.

Al- Zweiri talked about the issue of Pakistan.

Pakistan, most of Pakistan’s days are military— all military rule,

and it is in direct relation with the Pentagon and in direct relation with the

CIA since the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 by the Soviet Union,

so we are facing a phase today.

The parties have, up to now, strategic flexibility, meaning“ strategic flexibility,”

on the part of Iran there are more cards it can use,

and on the part of the United States of America there are more cards it can use.

Today Iran considers that

The historic opportunity in relations is to solve the problem all at once,

together Today the United States of America is trying to dismantle it,

as Kissinger said

earlier If the problem is very complex, it must be modular dismantling,

so today you face someone who wants a comprehensive and complete solution,

and someone who wants fragmentation.

We open the Strait of Hormuz and talk about…
