Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran has not sought a ceasefire or exchanged any messages with the United States and warned that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to countries Iran considers its enemies.
Araghchi said Washington is urging other countries to help ensure the strategic waterway remains open.
From Iran’s perspective, however, the strait is still open, he said, adding that restrictions apply only to those Tehran accuses of carrying out unjust aggression against Iran and their allies.
He also said the ongoing war should end in a way that prevents such conflict from happening again.
