Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran has never requested a ceasefire from the United States and remains fully prepared to defend itself as long as necessary.
In an interview with US media, Araghchi said Iran has shown no interest in negotiations and is not willing to enter talks or a ceasefire. He emphasized that Iran’s actions are defensive, and there is no reason to engage in dialogue with the US, citing previous attacks as evidence.
Araghchi also mentioned that several countries have contacted Iran regarding passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
This comes amid US President Donald Trump claiming Iran wants to negotiate, although he suggested conditions are not yet suitable.
