Araghchi says New York talks centered on Hormuz reopening conditions

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that all of his meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York focused on presenting Tehran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to Mehr News Agency.

Araghchi's remarks underscore the priority Iranian officials have placed on the strait's status during this year's round of diplomatic engagements in New York.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route for oil and gas, has been a recurring subject in Iran's diplomatic messaging in recent months.

Mehr News's report did not specify the exact conditions Araghchi presented or identify which specific foreign officials he raised the matter with during his meetings.

Iran has said it has not closed the door to negotiations over the strait's status, even as it insists on conditions set by its own security establishment.
