Iran says still open to diplomacy as war with US enters six months

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran is open to resuming diplomatic talks if the US abandons its pressure campaign. Despite a ceasefire in April and a memorandum signed in June, no progress has been made, and tensions remain around the Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi met with his Qatari counterpart to discuss the situation, insisting that the strait will remain closed until US commitments are fulfilled.
