Ali Shirazi, a member of the Iran International editorial team, referring to Donald Trump’s rejection of the return proposal to the Islamabad understandings, said that the Strait of Hormuz, which the Islamic Republic had used as a tool of pressure, turned against itself, and the pressure caused by the destabilization of this waterway is now directed at the Islamic Republic itself.

He added that it seems one of the reasons Tehran rejected the proposal is that America’s economic pressure policy, as the country’s Treasury Secretary said, has been putting pressure on the economy of the Islamic Republic.
