Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on 19 October that the United States had become stuck in a conflict with Iran and could not find a way out of it. He said this following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
According to Araghchi, Washington had counted on a military operation forcing Iran to capitulate.
“They thought their operation could force Iran into capitulation, but it has already been nine months since they got stuck in the quagmire of the conflict with Iran and cannot find a way out of it.”
The United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran on 28 February. Iran responded with its own strikes. In mid-June, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum on ending hostilities, but the two sides later exchanged strikes again. The conflict remains unresolved.
Because of the conflict between the United States and Iran, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively halted. The strait is a key route for global supplies of oil, petroleum products and liquefied natural gas. As a result, fuel prices have risen in most countries of the world.
