Iran awaits US response on Hormuz Strait proposal, sidesteps Trump's remarks
Iran says it is still waiting for an official response from the United States on its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has declined to react directly to US President Donald Trump's public statements on the matter.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has indicated that Tehran is not prepared to comment directly on or respond to public statements made by US President Donald Trump concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, Iran is waiting for a formal reply expected to arrive through mediators.
Iran had previously put forward a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. According to Tehran, however, no official response to that proposal has yet been received from Washington.
Diplomacy over public statements
Araghchi's approach suggests that Iran is prioritizing diplomatic channels involving intermediaries rather than direct engagement with the US administration or reacting to public remarks made by Trump. Tehran appears to view the question of the strait's status as one to be settled through formal mediated diplomacy rather than through statements exchanged in public.
It remains unclear when an official US response might arrive, or what the full details of Iran's proposal entail. The situation reflects continued uncertainty and a cautious diplomatic posture in relations between Tehran and Washington over the matter of the Strait of Hormuz.
