Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Sunday that Tehran had been just a "hair's breadth" away from concluding a deal during the peace talks with the United States in Pakistan. According to his statement, the negotiations collapsed due to American maximalism and the presentation of excessively high demands by Washington. aktuality.sk ↗
In the afternoon hours, American military forces launched a naval blockade of Iranian ports, which, according to Centcom's command, led to an immediate seven percent rise in oil prices. The blockade also affects the Strait of Hormuz, which is of strategic importance for global maritime security. pravda.sk ↗
The main points of the peace talks were achieving a lasting ceasefire in the region, Iran's nuclear program, the safety of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, and the fate of frozen Iranian assets. In this context, Araghchi claimed that Washington significantly undermined the chances of successfully concluding a deal through its excessive demands and unwillingness to compromise. teraz.sk ↗
The deteriorating security situation and the launched blockade of Iranian ports point to deeper disagreements between Tehran and Washington on key issues of regional stability and a peaceful resolution. sme.sk ↗
