Iran accuses US of causing Hormuz dispute amid ongoing talks

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized that the US should have consulted Iran about any new transit paths. Despite recent tensions, there have been signs of de-escalation, with US President Trump indicating a willingness to negotiate. Control of the Strait remains a contentious issue, as both nations dispute oversight rights.
