Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said his country is ready to fight again. He warned it is prepared 'even if it comes to a doomsday war'. At the same time, he said Iran is still open to talks.
His comments came after US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian plan. The plan offered a seven-day pause to end the fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
🔍 The Backstory
The United States and Israel have been at war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow sea route where a large share of the world's oil passes. Closing it would push energy prices up around the world.
Earlier talks between Washington and Tehran failed to end the conflict. Both sides have traded threats while diplomats try to restart negotiations.
🎯 Why It Matters
Fighting near the Strait of Hormuz can raise oil and fuel prices everywhere. A wider war would also put more soldiers and civilians in danger.
