Iran’s foreign minister has said that only negotiation can bring an end to the conflict, while Tehran waits for an official US rejection of a proposed deal involving the Strait of Hormuz. The statement follows comments by US President Donald Trump indicating that he had rejected the deal.
The minister said Iran was still awaiting a formal rejection, despite the president’s remarks. The comments suggest that Tehran does not regard Trump’s public position as the final official response to the proposal.
The dispute centres on a deal connected to Hormuz, although the available information does not provide further details about its terms. The Iranian foreign minister’s statement places negotiations at the centre of Tehran’s position on resolving the conflict.
The developments indicate a difference between the public comments attributed to the US president and the response Iran says it is waiting to receive through official channels. No additional details about the proposed agreement or the next steps in the discussions are available at this time.
For now, Iran says it believes negotiation is the only route to ending the conflict and is awaiting formal clarification from the United States on the deal.
