At the end of his trip to New York, Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs, said in an interview with the state-run news agency of Iranian television that there has been no change in the positions of the Islamic Republic.

Araghchi said on Tuesday, the 7th of Mehr: "The claims were submitted a few hours ago, and I firmly state that there has been no change in Iran's positions."

He did not mention the details of these "accusations", but it appears that Araghchi is referring to the Axios report about the US proposal to lift sanctions and release Iran's frozen assets in the event that Tehran withdraws from its nuclear program.

Donald Trump called this report "fake" on Monday night, October 6th, emphasizing that he made no proposal to Iran.

Abbas Araghchi added: "Currently it is only a matter of the Strait of Hormuz, and its opening depends on fulfilling the conditions we announced to the other side." The Iranian Foreign Minister also said that there are conditions from the leader of the Islamic Republic that "these conditions must be implemented in order to open the Strait of Hormuz."

Mojtaba Khamenei, leader of the Islamic Republic, said in a statement published by his office that Iran insists on maintaining the Strait of Hormuz.
