Both sides called for diplomacy to avert wider conflict, but announced no breakthrough. Hormuz Diplomacy: Araghchi said Iran’s proposal remains on the table: the strait could reopen on day six of a seven-day plan if Washington meets Tehran’s conditions. He blamed US policy for insecurity in the Gulf. Military Posture: Parliament approved missile-program veteran Mehrdad Akhlaqi as defense minister. Iranian officials warned that another US or Israeli attack would draw a severe response; Tehran has also threatened regional energy and technology infrastructure. Economic Pressure: Ship-tracking data show no Iranian crude departures in September, the first such month since tracking began in 2013, as the US blockade leaves major terminals idle.

Tehran condemned the remarks and renewed its warnings against further attacks.
