Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi reiterated that Tehran will not engage in face to face negotiations with Washington and that any communication must be conducted through international mediators, including Pakistan and Oman.
The standoff remains in a high tension phase with a fragile pause and no concrete progress, while the United States maintains pressure through naval measures and sanctions. Iranian authorities have warned they will respond if what they describe as hostile actions against their ports and strategic routes continue.
Negotiations focused on Iran’s nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz remain stalled after multiple failed attempts, increasing global uncertainty over whether the situation will escalate further or move toward a diplomatic resolution.
