Iran's Foreign Minister tells U.S. there is no military solution to their conflict

Abbas Araghchi said only negotiations can end the conflict as Tehran reviews a US response and the two sides remain deadlocked over the Strait of Hormuz.

  • On Sunday, October 4, Iran began assessing a US response regarding a diplomatic proposal to address regional tensions, following indirect talks held through Qatari intermediaries in New York.
  • Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz at the 81st United Nations General Assembly, provided Washington eased US military pressure.
  • Separately, a commercial tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, sustaining engine damage; all crew members remained safe, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations.
  • Rejecting the proposal as "unacceptable," President Donald Trump and US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz maintained firm opposition, while a US official stated Monday that Washington remains open to sanctions relief for "concrete progress" on nuclear issues.
  • Tehran is awaiting an official response from Washington, "hopefully" expected by Tuesday, as Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated the Islamic Republic is evaluating terms delivered by third-party channels.
