Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Says Iran Is Ready for War but Open to Diplomacy After U.S. Rejects Strait of Hormuz Proposal

On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran is fully prepared for war with the United States to resume but remains open to diplomacy. This follows President Trump's rejection of a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. Araghchi stated that the rejection has not been officially communicated through mediators. Iran seeks the release of frozen assets and the ability to sell oil. U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz called the proposal cynical and said Trump will keep all options on the table.
