Tehran: Iran has firmly asserted that only diplomatic means can resolve its disputes with the United States and Israel after US President Donald Trump said he rejected Iran’s request to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the fighting.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi wrote on social media: “Our conditions are clear and any action towards reopening the Strait of Hormuz is contingent on meeting these conditions.” “Only a negotiated solution can resolve this impasse.”
Last week, at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Iran announced a peace proposal, saying it had sent it to the US through a mediator from Qatar.
Trump said on Saturday that he had rejected the plan, saying desperation was driving the Iranians to try to find a deal on the vital waterway.
“They want to make a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz right away because they are suffering a lot,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
