Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday ruled out any temporary ceasefire, stating that negotiations will not proceed unless Iran's demands concerning the Strait of Hormuz are met. The remarks, reported by Iranian state-linked channels, sharpen Tehran's posture ahead of potential talks. As The Zioneer previously reported, Araghchi has in recent weeks set multiple conditions for diplomatic engagement with the United States, including implementation of a Lebanon clause in the memorandum of understanding and an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. The new statement explicitly links progress to the strategic waterway, signaling a hardening of Iran's position on regional security issues.
