Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said Tehran has “received some sign” the
U.S. is prepared to end its naval blockade, adding that new negotiations in
Islamabad could follow once it is lifted. He called the blockade a violation of
the ceasefire and a precondition for talks. The U.S. has not confirmed any
change. Iravani said, “The U.S. started the war against Iran,” and warned Iran
is “ready” for both diplomacy and conflict.
