Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that Tehran will never bow to the United States nor accept the language of threats.
He made these remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers meeting held in Kyrgyzstan.
Citing the Iranian news agency Tasnim, Araghchi noted that discussions with Russia and China are ongoing, and that they regularly consult with their friends in both countries whenever the opportunity arises.
He further added that the United States’ stance remains the primary obstacle to advancing peace talks.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi said, “Safeguarding Iran’s interests in the Strait of Hormuz is part of our fundamental policy, and we remain committed to this. Our efforts will continue until the legitimate goals and demands of the Iranian people are met.”
