Iran says resumption of war with US would not change its mind, with Strait of Hormuz 'no longer the same'
Abbas Araghchi said a new conflict would not change Tehran’s stance as Iran keeps asserting control over a key shipping route.
- On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that shipping routes and management of the Strait of Hormuz will not revert to pre-war states, demanding the "complete absence of foreign forces" for regional stability.
- Iran has claimed control over the strait since the war's outbreak and regularly targeted vessels attempting to cross without authorization, prompting the United States to maintain a naval counter-blockade on Iranian ports.
- Although an April 8 ceasefire halted intense fighting, sporadic exchanges persist around the strait. A June memorandum of understanding intended to establish permanent settlement unraveled after both sides accused the other of violations.
- President Donald Trump said on Friday that Washington "may do another little Epic Fury," referencing the U.S.-Israeli campaign that began February 28 amid mounting threats of renewed attacks on Iran.
- Araghchi emphasized that Tehran's policies will remain unchanged regardless of whether a new war occurs, reinforcing demands for the "complete absence of foreign forces" to achieve regional peace and stability.
