Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran is open to "real diplomacy" but remains prepared to respond to any new US attacks. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route for global oil trade.
Iran has been awaiting an official US response to its requests regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi emphasized that while diplomatic efforts are ongoing, Iran is not ruling out military action if necessary. The situation has been further complicated by the US rejection of Iran's proposal, which was reportedly discussed with mediators from Qatar.
The Iranian government has expressed its readiness to engage in genuine dialogue but has also made it clear that it will not tolerate any aggression. Araghchi's comments reflect a broader stance of caution and preparedness, as both sides continue to navigate a delicate balance between diplomacy and potential conflict.
The outcome of these discussions will likely shape the future of Iran-US relations, with both nations closely monitoring developments in the region.
