AL-ORAIBI: “The language coming out of Washington, first of all, is adding to the uncertainty, because it‘s unclear if this is a negotiation tactic or what is coming from the United States. President, is actually what‘s immediately on his mind and just being put out there publicly to the world. So it‘s complicating the situation for people to understand. And two, in terms of the Iranians, I mean, they have been difficult and not very serious in negotiations with various administrations. So I think we shouldn‘t overemphasize that point when it comes to how the Iranians are reacting and what their calculations are in the region. The biggest concern, of course, is this idea that the Strait of Hormuz is now a negotiation chip, that the Iranians are using, whereas in reality, when it comes to international, they should not be having the ability to close off this."
