What happened
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran is fully prepared for renewed military confrontation with the United States, including what he described as a 'doomsday war.' This statement was made while discussing President Donald Trump's rejection of a seven-day proposal aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restoring normal activity in the Persian Gulf. The proposal required the US to take several measures, including the release of frozen Iranian assets and the removal of restrictions on Iranian oil sales.
Why it matters
Araghchi stated that the diplomatic talks were intended to conclude a four-month conflict. He accused the United States of repeatedly undermining diplomatic efforts, noting that the US had launched military operations against Iran during previous rounds of talks.
Araghchi was engaged in talks with the US while Iran was already facing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to US/Israel actions.
