Iran says it is fully prepared for war amid escalating tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, according to a live blog from Al Jazeera, which cited a warning from Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Araghchi's comments came after Washington rejected a seven-day roadmap that had been proposed to end the conflict and reopen the strategically vital strait, through which a significant share of the world's seaborne oil trade passes.
The rejection of the roadmap appears to have hardened rhetoric on both sides, with Tehran's warning suggesting little near-term prospect of de-escalation. Al Jazeera's live coverage continues to track developments as the situation unfolds.
Neither Washington nor Tehran had announced a further diplomatic path forward at the time of Araghchi's remarks, leaving the standoff over the strait unresolved.
