Tehran: The American blockade undermines regional understanding
Iran considers the United States' decision to resume maritime blockade of its ports as an escalation that threatens efforts at de-escalation. It clarifies that this step is inconsistent with the understandings reached to halt military confrontations and promote diplomatic communication. The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister conveyed that this decision undermines an agreement mediated by Pakistan, and that military and economic pressures will not compel Iran to negotiate again amid ongoing military escalation and exchanges of strikes between the two sides since the ceasefire in April. This escalation raises the risk of disrupting de-escalation efforts and resuming negotiations between Iran and the United States.
