Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated that “I receive messages from [U.S. special envoy Steve] Witkoff directly, as before, and this does not mean that we are in negotiations… There is no truth to the claim of negotiations with any party in Iran”. He also maintained that “only for the ships of those who are at war with us, this strait [of Hormuz] is closed… Ships linked to other countries – because of security concerns, because of high insurance prices, or whatever other reason – they have decided not to use the Strait”. Araghchi went on to warn that “we know very well how to defend ourselves. In a ground war, we can do it even better. We are completely ready to confront any sort of ground attack. We hope they do not make such a mistake”.
