Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that a potential resumption of war with Israel and the United States would not alter Iran's positions. These remarks come amid escalating threats from the US, with President Donald Trump suggesting Washington "may do another little Epic Fury," referring to a US-Israeli campaign against Iran. Araghchi said that Iran had already faced such offensives twice and would not achieve a different outcome if they tried again.
An April 8 ceasefire between Iran and the United States ended the most intense fighting, though sporadic exchanges of fire occurred in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi also stated that the management of the Strait of Hormuz would not return to its pre-war status, asserting that "new realities are taking hold" and shipping routes would be different. He further called for the complete absence of foreign forces in the region to achieve peace and stability.
Disagreement on ceasefire details
The reports agree that an April 8 ceasefire ended the most intense fighting between Iran and the United States. However, The Hindu reports that this was "apart from sporadic exchanges of fire in and around the strategic Strait of Hormuz," while Ekstra Bladet states the ceasefire ended the most intense fighting "apart from sporadic fighting around the Hormuz Strait."
