Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran's main message during meetings on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly was that any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would depend on conditions set by Iran's Supreme National Security Council, according to IRNA.
Araghchi stressed that Iran has never closed the door to negotiations, even as it maintains what he described as its rights regarding the strategic waterway, the report said.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key global shipping route for oil and gas exports, and any disruption to its operation has significant implications for international energy markets.
IRNA's report did not specify the exact conditions the Supreme National Security Council has set for the strait's status, nor which countries or officials Araghchi conveyed this message to during his meetings in New York.
Araghchi's comments come amid continued diplomatic engagement between Iran and other countries on regional security issues, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a recurring point of discussion in talks involving Tehran.
