No guarantee was offered to freeze or revoke the sanctions. Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the revolution, rejected the message and any dialogue with the US President and told his guest that he considers Trump unworthy to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/khamenei_ir\/status\/1139098803024347136\">to exchange a message with<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Informed sources close to Iranian decision makers repeated the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-oil-iran\/if-iran-cant-export-oil-from-gulf-no-other-country-can-irans-president-says-idUSKBN1O30MI\">words<\/a>&nbsp;of President Hassan Rouhani and the Iranian advisor to Sayyed Khamenei for international affairs, Ali Akbar Velayati, namely&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/business\/432937-oil-iran-hormuz-strait\/\">that<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cif Iran can\u2019t export oil through the Persian Gulf, no-one in the Middle East will be able do this\u201d. The source \u201cexpects further attacks in the future, given the US decision to stop the flow of oil by all means at all costs. Thus, oil will stop being delivered to the world if Iran can\u2019t export its two million barrels per day\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ejmagnier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot-2019-06-15-at-05.59.00.png?resize=1000%2C566&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6348\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/06\/13\/world\/middleeast\/oil-tanker-attack-gulf-oman.html\">Two tankers<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2013 Kokuka Courageous and Font Altair \u2013 were attacked in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, putting at risk the supply of oil to the West and making oil tanker navigation in the Middle East very unsafe. \u201cOne more attack and insurance companies are expected to increase their fees. More attacks and no insurance company will agree to cover any oil tanker navigating in Gulf waters, putting Iran and other oil-exporters at the same level. Moreover, let us see what justifications Trump and Europe will offer their people when the price of oil becomes unaffordable\u201d, said the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ejmagnier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot-2019-06-14-at-09.06.50.png?resize=1000%2C517&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6327\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRUMP OFFERED TO SUSPEND SANCTIONS WHILE NEGOTIATING WITH IRAN, KHAMENEI REJECTED THE OFFER: MORE ATTACKS EXPECTED Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo conveyed a&nbsp;message&nbsp;from US President Donald Trump to the Iranian leadership, asking the release of 5 US prisoners and inviting Iran to sit around a negotiation table, adding \u201che [Donald Trump] would be&nbsp;ready to suspend [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[16163,2578,452,2189,9311,827],"class_list":["post-46698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-energy-2","category-geopolitics","tag-elijah-j-magnier","tag-hassan-rouhani","tag-japan","tag-shinzo-abe","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46698"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46699,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46698\/revisions\/46699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
