Iran opposes temporary truce in Iraq
The statement by Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, confirms that Tehran rejects temporary ceasefire agreements and aims to end the war completely. He warned that a temporary ceasefire could lead to a relapse into conflict. Araqchi indicated that Iran has sought to end the war entirely, not just a temporary halt, and that the United States was forced to negotiate after failing to pressure Iran through other means. He clarified that the negotiations focused on issues such as the nuclear program, sanctions, and the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran tying the Strait's status to the U.S. fulfilling its commitments. Conversely, Washington insists on reopening the Strait for navigation. These statements come after a 60-day deadline for the US-Iranian memorandum of understanding expired without reaching a final agreement, amid ongoing disagreements over the status of the Strait of Hormuz.
