“I was asked—by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and also Iran. We were almost ready to begin operations at around the same time, and an extremely wide-ranging attack was supposed to be carried out... The reason they asked us to stop it is that they believe an agreement is in the works. First, an agreement will be reached regarding the Strait of Hormuz, and then an agreement will be reached concerning the nuclear disarmament of Iran. Therefore, for now, we have halted operations. We have to see what happens.”
