If opened the southern route to the Strait of Hormuz, would no longer be able to exercise sovereignty in the Strait. Iran is not afraid of taking any action to establish its sovereignty over the Strait; even resuming war. Strait of Hormuz will no longer return to the pre-war arrangements. The responsibility for demining lies with Iran, but the way the future management of the Strait of Hormuz has completely changed. Have not had any request for negotiations with the US in the past 15 days. Americans sent us a message through Oman that they will not take military action against us.
