Hopefully, Iran will adhere to the proposals presented to them."He said Iran's threats to block the strait of Hormuz would have grave consequences on the Islamic Republic and the region."It  will be very difficult to maintain such a blockade against the export  of oil but the ramifications of such a decision would be very grave and  definitely would escalate the whole situation and God knows where it  would lead."Definitely the Iranians will pay a very heavy price if they gamble and take such a decision," the Saudi envoy said.</blockquote>
