Conditions for Hormuz reopening
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened if Iran’s conditions are met. Araghchi also rejected reports of any shift in Iran’s position on the reopening of Hormuz Strait or its peaceful nuclear program. He made the remarks while he was concluding his trip to New York where he held bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the annual United Nations General Assembly. Araghchi said the talks were aimed at defending Iran’s interests, conveying the nation’s just cause and grievances as well as showing that the country remains confident and influential on international stage.
Iran nuclear program
An informed Iranian official has firmly rejected Saudi media reports about Tehran showing flexibility on its nuclear position, describing such claims as false and part of a familiar pattern of psychological operations. Speaking exclusively to Press TV, the unnamed official said the US is trapped in the Strait of Hormuz and is attempting to deflect attention from that strategic failure by reviving Iran's nuclear file as a diversion. The official stressed that Iran’s position on the nuclear issue remains unchanged, and there is no discussion about this issue. The official’s remarks came after the Saudi-owned Al-Hadath channel alleged that Tehran has shown flexibility on its nuclear position. Following the US-Israeli aggressions against Iran in 2025 and 2026, which began amid indirect talks with the US, Tehran declared the nuclear file closed. Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed that uranium enrichment remains an inalienable right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the country’s nuclear program is only meant for peaceful purposes.
UK diesel prices surge
Diesel price in the UK has increased to its all-time high amid economic repercussions caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran. The average price of diesel is over 199 pence per liter, and petrol prices stand at around 175 pence. The Chancellor of Exchequer has said that UK diesel prices are extreme. John Healey added that London is in talks with Washington over a potential stoppage of diesel exports and is preparing for a possible ban. This comes as the UK depends on the US for around a third of its diesel imports. US sources suggest that President Donald Trump is considering a ban to attempt to bring down prices for domestic consumers ahead of the critical midterm elections.
