Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS' Face the Nation that Iran never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations and sees 'no reason' to talk with the Americans, but is open to talks with countries seeking safe passage through Hormuz. He said the strait is closed only to the U.S. and its allies and that Iran's nuclear material lies under rubble with no plan to recover it.

Why it matters

It rebutted Trump's claim a day earlier that Iran 'wants a deal' and signaled Tehran would use selective Hormuz access as leverage while strikes continue.
