The statement

In an interview with CBS, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said "we never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation", that Iran saw no reason to negotiate with the US and nothing was on the table, and that Iran was ready to defend itself "as long as it takes". He said the strait was not closed, that ships were hesitant because of insecurity, and that Iran was open to talks with countries on safe passage for their vessels.
