Araghchi Issues Warning to Washington Over Hormuz Strait and Demands End to Wars
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called on the U.S. administration to end military operations in exchange for opening the Strait of Hormuz, warning of severe consequences if escalation continues.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sent a stern message to the White House, demanding the acceptance of a comprehensive proposal to end ongoing armed conflicts.
Tehran has conditioned the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping within 48 hours on the cessation of hostilities across all fronts.
Araghchi warned the U.S. against choosing the path of war, asserting that Iranian forces include seasoned fighters prepared to confront any military escalation.
These statements come amidst intensive diplomatic efforts and regional consultations aimed at de-escalating tensions and preventing the situation from spiraling into a full-scale conflict.
The international community is closely monitoring the progress of mediation efforts, as well as the ability of all parties to reach an understanding that ensures the stability of this vital maritime corridor.
