US EditionIranian Foreign Minister Says "We Don't See Any Reason Why We Should Talk with Americans"
Iran denies seeking negotiations with the U.S. but is open to talks on safe passage for some oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi said.
- On March 15, 2026, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS that 'We never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation', rejecting Trump's claim.
- Because U.S. forces attacked Kharg Island on Friday, Araghchi said Iran sees no reason to talk with Americans after they attacked.
- Araghchi emphasised Iran is defending its people and said it is prepared to negotiate for selected oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, framing its actions as defensive.
- Rising pump prices and official timelines are the immediate economic consequences, with U.S. gas prices rising from $3.45 to $3.70 on Sunday, and the Pentagon estimating the conflict will last four to six weeks.
- On Saturday, Trump appealed to foreign ships to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz and said military escorts could start by the end of this month, with prices potentially reaching $5.50 if Brent exceeds 150.
