Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated several countries approached Tehran.

They sought safe passage for vessels through the strait.

Iran has allowed ships from different countries to transit the waterway.

Specific details were not disclosed.

Tehran maintains the strait remains open to all except the US and its allies.

This effectively uses the strategic waterway as leverage.

Araghchi emphasized Iran sees no reason to negotiate with Washington.

He blames the US and Israel for coordinated strikes.

These strikes triggered the current conflict.

This reflects Iran's strategy of controlling key strategic assets.

It resists direct diplomatic engagement with Trump.

This creates a stalemate prolonging the regional crisis.
