MP Ali Motahhari said on Wednesday, “In the letter, it has been stated that ‘closing the Strait of Hormuz is our red line’ and they have requested direct negotiations.”What could go wrong?
“In the letter, Obama has announced readiness for negotiation and the resolution of mutual disagreements,” he added.
He went on to say that Obama uttered threats in the first part of the letter and talked about friendship and negotiation in the second part.

MP Hojjatoleslam Hossein Ebrahimi said on Wednesday, “Obama’s letter has several parts. Part of it is about this, (namely) that using international waterways is the right of all countries and all should benefit from them. And in this letter, he has described it as the United States’ red line.”
“In the letter, Obama has mentioned cooperation and negotiation based on the interests of the two countries,” Ebrahimi, who is the deputy chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told the Nasimonline news website.
“He has stated in the letter that they will not take any hostile action against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he added.
Ebrahimi also said, “This is not the first time that Obama has sent a message and letter to the Islamic Republic of Iran. He has repeatedly spoken in a soft tone about the Islamic Republic of Iran, but, in practice, he has not acted accordingly.”
“Obama’s letter indicates that the United States has become afraid of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s might and has realized the point that an arrogant spirit is of no use, and therefore, he has softened his tone when speaking about the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he stated.
He added, “The important issue is that without the Islamic Republic of Iran’s permission, no country can benefit from the Persian Gulf.”

98-pound weakling begs Iran to negotiate
Last week, it was reported that President Obama sent a letter to Iranian leaders Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khameni warning them that closing the Strait of Hormuz would be a 'red line.' The Iranians have now released the content of that letter, and I'm sure you'll all be shocked to hear that America's 98-pound weakling is once again begging the Iranians to negotiate.
