The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic announced on Thursday that the Islamic Republic is not seeking a ceasefire after six days of military conflict with the United States and Israel.

Abbas Araqchi stated in an interview with NBC News, "We have not made any request for a ceasefire, nor is there any request from us for negotiations with the United States."

He also rejected sending a message to Washington.

In this interview, Araqchi emphasized that Iran has "no intention of closing the Strait of Hormuz," but may consider all options if the war continues. This comes as recent days have seen officials from the Revolutionary Guard and media close to the Islamic Republic claiming that Tehran has closed this strategic strait.

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, confidently stated in an interview with Reuters on Thursday evening that the main shipping route near Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, will remain open.
