Iranian Foreign Minister: No talks with the US as long as it violates the interim deal - Sarmad

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that there are no ongoing talks between Iran and the United States, and that Tehran will not initiate any negotiations as long as Washington violates the interim agreement reached in June, while noting at the same time that there is an exchange of messages through intermediaries.

Araghchi reiterated that an agreement concerning the Strait of Hormuz between Tehran and Muscat has reached its “final stages,” but clarified that the deal will not lead to the reopening of the strategic waterway at this time.

He added that the agreement will define new navigation routes that will be used once the United States fulfills other conditions and the strait is reopened to navigation, according to Reuters, citing the Mehr News Agency.
