Iran's Araghchi clarifies Islamabad memorandum and US negotiation status
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the Islamabad memorandum was intended as an 'end to war' rather than a ceasefire. He asserted that the United States violated this memorandum, which led to the resumption of hostilities. Consequently, he clarified that there is no 60-day ceasefire currently in place to be extended, as the previous 60-day window was designated for negotiations toward a final agreement.
Araghchi noted that while mediators in Qatar and Pakistan are exchanging messages, no decision has been made to resume direct negotiations with the United States.
Separately, Araghchi confirmed that technical negotiations are ongoing with Oman regarding the definition of maritime routes in the Strait of Hormuz. These discussions involve specialists and military personnel to establish new, functional shipping lanes, as previous routes are no longer effective.
