Iran signals no immediate resumption of direct nuclear or diplomatic talks with US

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has confirmed that Tehran has not decided to resume formal negotiations with the United States, despite ongoing indirect communication facilitated by Oman, Qatar, and Pakistan. This clarifies that current back-channel exchanges do not constitute active negotiations, indicating a continued diplomatic impasse. The status of maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz remains contingent on US compliance with Iranian conditions.
