Iran says it is fully prepared for war amid Hormuz tensions
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said Tehran is fully prepared for war after Washington rejected a seven-day roadmap aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that Tehran is fully prepared for war as tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz.
The warning follows the United States' rejection of a seven-day roadmap that had been proposed to end the war and reopen the strait to normal shipping. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically important waterways, through which a significant share of global oil supplies passes.
Diplomatic standstill
The rejected plan had been intended to bring hostilities to a close and restore maritime traffic through the strait, but the diplomatic effort appears to have stalled. Araghchi's statement signals that talks aimed at de-escalation have not yet produced results, and tensions in the region continue to build.
No further details have been released regarding next steps from either side. The situation around the Strait of Hormuz is being closely watched internationally given its importance to global energy trade and the potential consequences for regional security.
