I told Aljazeera that one of Iran’s main rationales for maintaining control of the strait is that if it is attacked in another illegal war, it wants to be able to use this leverage card if needed.
The legal details are still being worked out and hammered out in Iran, but the general idea seems to be making it palatable and acceptable to the international community and not to do it as a rogue state situation.

Told Aljazeera that Iran’s proposal looks reasonable as the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has created a “a global crisis and countries around the world want it resolved”.
“Both Tehran and Washington need to immediately focus on reforming the Strait,” Mortazavi added. “Tehran will not move if the US doesn’t lifts its blockade, and Washington will not do so if Iran does not open the strait. So this can be a good first step towards a more permanent ceasefire, and then after reducing tension, the two sides can talk about other issues.”
On the nuclear file, she said while it was a “top priority” issue for both Washington and Israel, it is a “complex issue”.
“Tehran once negotiated a successful nuclear deal with the Obama administration, which took two years of intense negotiations,” she said.
“Tehran also tried to negotiate on its nuclear programme with the Trump administration once last year and again this year, and both times the patience of the US president was very short and, in the middle of negotiations, Iran was attacked.”
As a result, Mortazavi said, the nuclear issue cannot be resolved “in a few hours in high-level meetings between the US vice president and the Iranian speaker of parliament”.
“The nuclear issue … needs serious negotiations with technical experts, and it has to be done with proper time and patience. It would be better if it happens after the war ends, in an atmosphere of peace and calm, and not during an active conflict between the different sides,” she added.
