Reopening demands and readiness warning retained

Sep 27

IRINN reports Araghchi saying the seven-day proposal could normalize Gulf and Hormuz conditions and that Washington should explain its opposition. He suggests the U.S. ambassador had not read the text, lists ending the war, releasing frozen funds and permitting Iranian oil sales among Iran's requirements, and says Iran is ready both for talks and for resisting renewed aggression, even a catastrophic war. No accepted ceasefire or reopening is announced.

No accepted ceasefire or reopening is announced. CCTV's September 28 brief gives a shorter account of Araghchi's September 27 position: readiness for renewed U.S. hostilities alongside continued diplomatic engagement. It pairs this with Trump's expectation of more talks and consideration of further strikes, without reporting an agreement or renewed fighting.
