# Iran: War resumption won't change policies, Hormuz management altered

*Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi states Iran's stance remains firm amid US and Israeli threats.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 30 of 100, higher is better. The central claim is attributed to a named body, but no other corroborating evidence or independent sources are cited.
- Craft 59 of 100, higher is better. The story is clearly written and holds together, with specific details and a mention of what might happen next.
- Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. The headline promises more than the body delivers, with some sensationalism in the presentation.

**The short version**

- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran's policies would not change even if war with the US and Israel resumed.
- Araghchi indicated that the management of the Strait of Hormuz would not revert to its pre-war status.
- The US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire on April 8, ending the most intense fighting, though sporadic exchanges continued around the Strait of Hormuz.
- Araghchi called for the complete absence of foreign forces in the region to achieve peace and stability.

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."

## What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated reports mention the US President Donald Trump's specific quote about Washington "may do another little Epic Fury," referring to a US-Israeli campaign on Iran. None of the centre-rated reports mention the specific quote from US President Donald Trump about Washington "may do another little Epic Fury," referring to a US-Israeli campaign on Iran. None of the right-rated reports mention the specific quote from US President Donald Trump about Washington "may do another little Epic Fury," referring to a US-Israeli campaign on Iran.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- The left-rated reports led with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's statement that a resumption of war with the US and Israel would not change Iran's policies. These reports highlighted Araghchi's assertion that Iran would not achieve a different outcome if attacked again, and that the management of the Strait of Hormuz would not return to its pre-war status. The Hindu's full report included details about the April 8 ceasefire and mentioned previous incidents such as seven oil tankers catching fire or being damaged in the Strait of Hormuz. The left-rated reports also included Araghchi's call for the complete absence of foreign forces in the region for peace and stability.

### Centre

- Centre-rated reports focused on Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's assertion that Iran's policies would remain unchanged regardless of renewed conflict with the US and Israel. These reports also featured Araghchi's comments on the Strait of Hormuz, stating its management would not revert to pre-war conditions. Several centre-rated digests mentioned the April 8 ceasefire between Iran and the US. Hindustan Times' digest noted Araghchi's dismissal of Trump's warning, suggesting Iran "will not try again if there's any rationality." PressTV's digest highlighted Araghchi's statement that the Strait of Hormuz management would "never return to pre-war era."

### Right

- Right-rated reports led with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's declaration that a resumption of war with the US and Israel would not alter Iran's policies. These reports frequently included Araghchi's statement that any renewed conflict would not yield a different result for the US and Israel. Several right-rated digests mentioned President Donald Trump's threat of a potential "Epic Fury" operation. Anadolu Ajansı's digest quoted Araghchi saying 'nothing will be same' in the region after the war. Le Figaro's digest noted that negotiations had stalled and that the US and Israel had increased threats of strikes. Clarin's digest mentioned that Tehran insists on controlling the Strait of Hormuz while the US maintains a naval blockade.
