Iran’s chief negotiator says the US must act to prevent renewed war, and other Mideast news
Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, stated that it is up to the United States to prevent a renewed war, following a "firm and rational response" to Washington. Qalibaf did not provide further details. This statement came in the wake of the U.S. conducting defensive strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz.
India reported that an Indian national was killed and 13 others were rescued after a commercial vessel was attacked off Oman. The vessel, named MSV AL JUSUFI, was hit by an unidentified aerial object near Limah. No claim of responsibility has been made, but Iran has previously blamed such attacks on vessels that took unauthorized routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
China, in response to growing concerns of potential U.S. attacks on Iran, urged all parties to resolve their disputes through dialogue and negotiations. China emphasized that military means would only exacerbate tensions and escalate the situation. In an effort to promote regional peace, China announced that it would dispatch a special envoy to Iran, Oman, and Saudi Arabia in early to mid-November.
