At a glance

  • Iran's Foreign Minister says there is no military solution to the conflict with the US.
  • Tehran warns its response will be "stronger than before" if it is attacked.
  • The Strait of Hormuz could reopen in a week if the US accepts Iran's seven conditions.

Story so far

Tensions between the US and Iran persist, with Tehran calling for a diplomatic solution through "transparent and fair negotiations". Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned of a "stronger" military response to any new attack, while also stating that new US sanctions are ineffective. A key point of contention is the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran says it will not reopen until seven conditions are met. The US, in turn, insists that any potential agreement must also address Iran's nuclear program. Indirect talks have reportedly taken place through mediators.

Latest development

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that while the door for diplomacy with the US remains open, any new attack would be met with a response "stronger than before". He asserted that the US has failed on both military and diplomatic fronts.
