Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a Telegram statement that Iran had seen President Trump's public rejection of its seven-day Hormuz plan but was waiting for mediators to convey the definitive U.S. position before deciding its next step, adding that any reopening of the strait depends on Iran's conditions and "we will not back down from them."
Why it matters
Tehran is treating Trump's remarks as short of a formal answer, keeping the mediated channel alive while the U.S. blockade and Iran's restrictions on the strait stay in place.
