Iran says Pakistan, Qatar exchanging messages but no US talks underway
Araghchi said Qatar and Pakistan are relaying messages, while technical talks with Oman aim to design temporary routes for ships.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Iran has not decided to resume negotiations with America, though technical talks with Oman continue designing temporary maritime routes separate from reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- Tensions escalated after President Donald Trump announced intentions to declare the Strait of Hormuz American territory, prompting Araghchi to claim America violated the Islamabad Memorandum intended to conclude the conflict.

- Araghchi characterized the current situation as an end to the war rather than a ceasefire, leaving diplomatic paths effectively closed for the foreseeable future.
