Araghchi’s Hormuz conditions IRINN airs his denial

Date unknown

IRINN airs Araghchi before his departure from New York saying Iran’s nuclear positions have not changed and rejecting reports of flexibility. He says the current issue is conditional reopening of Hormuz and urges viewers to disregard foreign-media speculation. The programme reports the seven-point proposal conveyed through Qatar, with a final U.S. response still to be relayed. The account describes stated conditions and pending diplomacy, with no reopening or accepted agreement announced.

Before leaving New York, Abbas Araghchi tells IRIB that Iran’s nuclear positions have not changed and rejects claims of flexibility. He says current discussions concern Hormuz, whose reopening depends on conditions already communicated to other parties, and asks viewers to disregard foreign-media speculation. IRINN reports that the seven-point plan had been conveyed through Qatar, with another relay and a final U.S. response still pending. The September 29 broadcast does not independently establish the interview’s original day; live reporting places the matching remarks on September 28 or September 29. The statement date therefore remains unknown. It announces neither a nuclear concession, an accepted settlement nor reopened passage. This interview is separately indexed from the contacts specifically reported on September 28. Oman News’s September 29 package quotes Araghchi insisting that Iran’s navigation conditions and positions on other issues are unchanged and already conveyed to the US. Its Tehran correspondent reports his departure from New York, revisions to the seven-point proposal and a US response still awaited through Qatar, hoped for on Wednesday. The correspondent says the interview occurred hours earlier, but the retrieved sources do not reconcile the September 28/29 original-date conflict. The hoped-for response is not an accepted agreement.
