Despite US efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has maintained control, demanding six conditions be met by the US before negotiations can progress. These include ending aggression, lifting sanctions, and compensating Iran for damages.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stresses that Iran will not engage in new negotiations with the United States as long as it keeps violating a war-ending MoU between the two sides.

A senior Iranian diplomat says security in the Persian Gulf region must be ensured only by all regional countries within the region.

The MoU involved the US lifting its naval blockade and easing restrictions on Iranian oil exports, in exchange for Iran maintaining commercial navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. However, within weeks, the US reinstated sanctions and launched military strikes, leading to renewed tensions.

In an interview with Austria's ORF, Esmaeil Baqaei accuses Washington of violating the ceasefire MoU, warns that Europe's appeasement only emboldens aggressors.

The Iranian president says the country is engaged in a full-scale war with the United States.

Kazem Gharibabadi says Tehran has suspended its commitments under the Islamabad MoU after the United States violated the agreement by resuming its aggression against Iranian territory.
