Iran’s Foreign Ministry has said exchanges of messages with the United States are continuing through mediators, while Tehran reviews Washington’s response to an Iranian proposal.
The ministry said Iran would inform the mediators once it reaches a conclusion regarding the US response.
The ministry said security in the Strait of Hormuz would not be restored as long as the US blockade and economic pressure against Iran continued.
It also rejected US claims that the strait had been reopened and that Iran had lost its leverage over the strategic waterway, saying such statements did not reflect the situation on the ground.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the United States had imposed new sanctions on the country recently and stressed that they must be lifted.
It added that Tehran’s proposal to Washington included commitments outlined in a memorandum of understanding.
The ministry did not provide further details about the proposal or Washington’s response.
Separately, the ministry said Iran had expressed readiness to make good offices available to help facilitate talks between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
It did not specify whether either side had accepted the offer or whether any discussions had been scheduled.
