Speaking at a health ministry meeting, Araghchi praised Iranian armed forces and civilians for their resistance, noting that foreign officials called Iran’s performance a “miracle.” He claimed Iran won both the war and the diplomatic battle, upholding its honour and dignity. The remarks follow US President Donald Trump’s assertion that Washington has “100 per cent control” over the Strait of Hormuz and his warning that the US would seek compensation from Iran for alleged past damages. ## Coverage - deccanchronicle.com Tags: diplomacy, Iran, Israel, Middle East conflict, Strait of Hormuz, US Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-says-it-forced-us-israel-to-seek-talks/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
