Iran ‘fully prepared’ for war to resume but diplomacy not over yet, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says

Tehran said it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days if Washington resumes talks and releases frozen assets, officials said.

  • Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days through mediator Qatar at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, demanding release of frozen assets and the ability to sell its oil.
  • Ambassador Mike Waltz to the United Nations rejected the proposal as a 'cynical attempt' to secure concessions, citing Tehran's previous violations of a memorandum of understanding signed in June that collapsed within days.
  • Trump earlier this week stated he was weighing whether to 'annihilate' Iran or reach an agreement, publicly linking a potential deal's timing to the November midterm elections.
  • Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told moderator Kristen Welker that Washington's rejection had not been formally communicated to Tehran through mediators, while warning diplomacy remains possible alongside war preparation.
  • Tehran dismissed concerns over U.S. midterm elections, emphasizing national interests remain paramount, while Washington maintains all options including military action remain on the table.
