Iran's president urges an end to the conflict with the US, citing a position of strength as diplomatic talks remain stalled.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for an end to the months-long conflict with the United States, asserting that Iran is in a position of strength despite ongoing diplomatic deadlocks. During a meeting with doctors, he stated that the international community recognizes Iran's resilience and criticizes the US for alleged attacks on civilian infrastructure. Pezeshkian defended a June memorandum of understanding with Washington, which has since expired, by emphasizing that the agreement did not include concessions from Iran’s side.
Omani and Iranian foreign ministers held a phone call to discuss ways to create conditions for resuming dialogue and addressing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s military leadership has warned that the country remains prepared to respond to any new threats with force across multiple domains. At the same time, the US continues efforts to protect oil tankers in the region, with reports indicating that secret convoys are being organized to facilitate oil exports through the southern sector of the strait.
Why it matters
Omani and Iranian foreign ministers hold a call as Washington prepares economic sanctions, but a charter objective does not prove that a specific cross-border barrier has been removed.
