Iran has dismissed Donald Trump’s allegation over an Indian vessel near the Strait of Hormuz and accused the United States of attacking Indian commercial ships that killed three sailors.
Tehran pushed back against Trump's claims of an imminent breakthrough, saying no final decision has been taken despite growing optimism from Washington and Israel.
Qatar and Pakistan remain involved in mediation efforts, but Tehran says changing US positions and security concerns in the Strait of Hormuz continue to complicate negotiations.

“This attack on Iran’s sovereignty and encroachment of its rights, whether through aerial strikes or covert killings, only deepens instability and sows the seeds of further conflict,” Ramesh further asserted.
