Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless Washington accepts Tehran's conditions. He told Iraq's Al-Iraqiya news channel, "The United States must accept our conditions for the strait to be open to ships." Araghchi also revealed that the U.S. has agreed to Iran's "seven-day plan," which envisions a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on the sixth day, but the U.S. wants to add clauses related to previous negotiation topics. He emphasized that the U.S. must fulfill all commitments in previously signed agreements before other issues can be discussed. Araghchi also rejected U.S. economic sanctions and military threats, stating that Iran will never yield, and the only appropriate solution is diplomacy and negotiation.
