Iran's foreign ministry spokesman: Strait of Hormuz 'main concern' of leadership

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, has revealed that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is the primary focus of truce talks with Washington. Speaking at a news conference, Baghaei emphasized that Tehran's main concern is to reach a solution and restore peace and stability within this waterway. He contrasted Iran's position with Washington's strategy, which he claims is focused on Iran's nuclear file.

Baghaei noted that the peace process has been hindered by the volatility and fluctuation of Washington's decision-making. He criticized the inconsistencies in their statements and demands, stating that this issue affects not only Iran but all countries dealing with the United States. In a separate statement, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed any possibility of a military solution or new sanctions to end the conflict.

He stated that if Iran's enemies choose a path of military confrontation, their response will be even stronger, and they are ready to defend themselves with increased force. Araghchi reiterated that Tehran remains committed to finding diplomatic solutions while also being prepared to defend itself.
