Iran says it will reopen Hormuz only under conditions
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran has “no trust” in the United States and will negotiate only if Washington is genuinely serious. Talks to end the Iran conflict are stalled after both sides rejected new proposals during Pakistan-mediated efforts. While Iran says vessels not at war with it may pass the Strait of Hormuz if they coordinate with Iran’s navy, Araqchi warned the situation remains “very complicated,” with Iran still prepared to resume fighting. Nuclear issues and Hormuz control are key hurdles.
