Iran's foreign minister has said that negotiation remains the only path to resolving the standoff over a proposed deal concerning the Strait of Hormuz, after US President Donald Trump publicly rejected the Iranian proposal, according to the BBC.
The minister said Tehran was still waiting for an official rejection of the deal to be communicated through diplomatic channels or mediators, despite Trump's public comments dismissing the proposal. The distinction between informal public statements and a formal diplomatic response appears central to Iran's continued insistence that dialogue remains possible.
The dispute centres on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments, and forms part of the broader, long-running tensions between Iran and the United States that include disagreements over Iran's nuclear program and US sanctions on the Iranian economy.
Iranian officials have repeatedly emphasised that they view negotiation, rather than escalation, as the appropriate mechanism for resolving disputes with Washington, even as public rhetoric between the two governments has at times hardened. It remains unclear when or whether a formal, official response to the Iranian proposal will be delivered through diplomatic channels.
Neither government has indicated a specific timeline for further talks following the exchange of public statements.
