BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 13. Iran is calling on the U.S. to exercise caution regarding disinformation.
This was stated by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi in a social media post on “X.”
“The U.S. has long faced miscalculations due to a lack of information. The war against Iran is a prime example of this. Now they are making even more serious miscalculations regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Disinformation is worse than fake news. Be careful,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, a new round of tensions in relations between the U.S. and Iran began on July 8. On that day, for the first time since the signing of the memorandum between Washington and Tehran, the U.S. Armed Forces launched several waves of strikes against Iranian territory, stating that they were in response to an attack on a merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz. On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the termination of the ceasefire with Iran. In response, Tehran began striking U.S. facilities located in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Oman. The Iranian side claims that the Strait of Hormuz is currently closed.
Negotiations are underway between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate that some progress has been made in these negotiations. The Iranian side notes that even if an agreement is reached with Oman, it will not lead to the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iran, the strait will be opened only after the U.S. takes several specific steps.
