      <title>Iran urges regional cooperation to stabilise Strait of Hormuz</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330465434/iran-urges-regional-cooperation-to-stabilise-strait-of-hormuz</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iran has called for closer regional cooperation to restore stability in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the United States of fuelling tensions in the strategic waterway.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, Araghchi made the remarks during separate telephone conversations with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The discussions focused on bilateral ties and the latest regional developments, with Araghchi stressing the need for coordinated diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and safeguard regional stability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said countries in the region should strengthen cooperation to “eliminate the state of instability in the Strait of Hormuz resulting from the aggressive actions of the United States.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The remarks come as a fragile calm has largely held since Friday after Washington and Tehran suspended military operations following 13 days of escalating hostilities that began on July 11.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the fighting, the United States carried out air strikes inside Iran, while Tehran responded by targeting what it described as US military facilities and equipment in several Arab countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The escalation unfolded despite a memorandum of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran in June, which called for an end to hostilities and negotiations on a broader agreement aimed at ending the conflict that began with Israeli and US military action on February 28.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire void on July 8 after attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, which Washington blamed on Tehran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The United States has since demanded that Iran halt attacks on commercial shipping and ensure freedom of navigation through the strategic waterway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tehran, however, maintains that vessel traffic in waters adjacent to its coastline should operate under a mechanism supervised by Iran, reflecting continuing differences between the two sides over security in one of the world’s most important energy transit routes.&lt;/p&gt;
