‘We don’t see any reason to negotiate’: Araghchi
We have more comments from Iran’s top diplomat.
In a live interview with NBC, Abbas Araghchi said Iran is “not asking for a ceasefire”.
“We don’t see any reason why we should negotiate with the US”, he said. “When we negotiated with them twice, every time, they attacked us in the middle of negotiations.”
Araghchi also emphasised that Iran has not closed the Strait of Hormuz, saying “it is the ships and tankers” that have refused to cross the waterway.
“We have no intention to close it right now, but as the war continues, we will consider every scenario,” he added.
