Tehran doesn’t want to negotiate with US, Iranian FM Araghchi says
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Wednesday that there are currently no talks between Iran and the US, Reuters reported.
Araghchi also claimed that the exchange of messages through mediators doesn’t constitute a negotiation between the countries, and that Tehran’s leadership has no intention of holding talks with the US after reviewing its latest proposal.
The Iranian minister also assured that Iran “is not seeking war and wants a permanent end to the conflict.”
On the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi said:
“For some countries we consider friends, we have allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz; we permitted China, Russia, India, Iraq, and Pakistan to pass.”
“There is no reason to allow our enemy to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.”
