Amid ongoing tensions and regional political developments, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday that the American response to Tehran's proposal regarding opening the strategic waterway within one week was incomplete and insufficient, stressing at the same time that excessive American demands are obstructing any real progress in the ongoing negotiation track. In a related context, ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei explained that the stringent conditions from the American side prevent reaching tangible results. The Iranian official addressed during his statements the visit of the US Secretary of Defense to Israel, pointing out that his country is not in a state of peace and faces multiple threats, which necessitates complete readiness and continuous military preparedness to deal firmly with any potential aggression.
