Iranian foreign minister says no plan for negotiations with US to end war
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said his government has not engaged in talks to end the war, “and we do not plan on any negotiations”.
His remark came during an interview with the Iranian state TV on Wednesday.
The Islamic Republic dismissed an American plan to pause the war in the Middle East and launched more attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab countries, including an assault that sparked a huge fire at Kuwait International Airport.
Iran's defiance came as Israel launched airstrikes on Tehran and as the United States deployed paratroopers and more Marines to the region.
Earlier, two officials from Pakistan, who transmitted the US plan to Iran, described the 15-point proposal broadly, saying it addressed sanctions relief, a rollback of Iran's nuclear programme, limits on missiles and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil is shipped.
