Araghchi also rejected reports that Tehran and Washington need to extend a 60-day ceasefire under the Islamabad Memorandum, a June framework agreement brokered by Pakistan.

“What was included in the Islamabad Memorandum was the end of the war, not a ceasefire,” Araghchi told Iran’s ISNA news agency on Friday.

He said the United States had violated the memorandum and that fighting subsequently resumed, meaning there was no 60-day ceasefire requiring an extension.

According to Araghchi, the 60-day period outlined in the memorandum was intended as a window for negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement rather than establishing a fixed ceasefire period.

“Both Qatar and Pakistan continue to exchange messages and remain in contact with us, but that does not mean negotiations,” he said.

“No decision has yet been made to resume talks with the United States.”

Araghchi said Iran’s separate negotiations with Oman were continuing, but stressed that they were unrelated to any potential discussions with Washington.

He described the Oman talks as technical negotiations focused on establishing new shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, saying the previous routes were no longer suitable.

“We are currently designing a temporary route that will later become a permanent route,” he said, adding that experts from Iran and Oman, along with members of Iran’s armed forces, were participating in the discussions.

Araghchi said the negotiations could conclude soon but stressed that determining a new shipping route should not be confused with a decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“Once the route is determined, whether the Strait of Hormuz is reopened depends on the fulfilment of other conditions that the United States must comply with,” he said.
