Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is still waiting for a formal response from Washington regarding a proposal related to the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Araghchi told IRNA that any further progress on the matter would depend on Tehran's conditions being satisfied, without elaborating extensively on the specific terms involved. The remarks suggest that discussions between the two sides remain at an early or unresolved stage.
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically vital waterway through which a significant share of the world's seaborne oil shipments pass, making any diplomatic exchanges concerning it a matter of close international attention.
Iran and the United States have historically communicated on regional security matters through indirect channels, given the absence of formal diplomatic relations between the two countries. Araghchi's comments indicate that Tehran considers the ball to be in Washington's court regarding a formal reply.
Neither the Iranian foreign ministry nor US officials have publicly detailed the full contents of the proposal referenced by Araghchi. Observers will be watching for any official American response in the coming period.
