Iran says resumption of war with US would not change its mind, with Strait of Hormuz 'no longer the same'

- On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that potential renewed conflict with Israel and the United States would not alter Iran's policy positions.
- President Donald Trump suggested on Friday that Washington "may do another little Epic Fury," intensifying threats of renewed military action against Iran.

- Although an April ceasefire ended intense fighting, a June memorandum aimed at permanent settlement unraveled after both sides accused each other of violations.
- Washington maintains a naval counter-blockade around Iranian ports while Trump has weighed options from letting conflict wither to seizing Iranian oil.
