Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Says No Military Solution to US War

Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, declared on Sunday that the conflict with the United States has no military solution, speaking at a gathering of foreign ambassadors. He warned that any renewed military confrontation would provoke a stronger Iranian response. The statement came as negotiations to end the war appeared stalled. The war, initiated by the US and Israel in late February, has seen heavy bombardment without a decisive outcome. In recent weeks, Washington has reduced military operations and shifted toward economic pressure. A key sticking point is Iran's attempt to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for Gulf oil and gas. On Sunday, a UK maritime agency reported that another tanker was hit by an unidentified projectile in the area. Araghchi's remarks underscore Iran's insistence on defending itself with greater force if attacked again.
