Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagae said in an interview published on Sunday that Iran has not closed the door to diplomacy with the US, and the two sides are still exchanging information through intermediaries. “We never left the negotiation table and did not close the diplomatic window.” Bagae said, “The parties are conveying information through mediators. But the problem is that the US seems determined to pursue its unilateral claims.” Bagae said that US President Donald Trump and other US officials have repeatedly used the term “complete surrender.” “No Iranian would accept such conditions,” he said. At the same time, Bagae rejected allegations that Iran is suspected of participating in an attack on a British military base. “I can say with certainty that Iran has nothing to do with what they say is an act.” Referring to the Strait of Hormuz, Bagae believes that the waterway is currently unsafe, and points the finger at the US and Israel. “The reason why the Strait of Hormuz is unsafe is not caused by Iran, but by the misuse of this channel by the US and Israel.” He accused both countries of continuing to use the region to carry out military operations against Iran.
