New Delhi, March 19 -- As the war enters its third week, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has once again reaffirmed that the country's stance on the peaceful use of nuclear energy remains unchanged.

On the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi said that after the war, coastal countries should draft new agreements governing the passage of ships to ensure safe and smooth routes, provided Iranian and regional interests are met.

He further stated that while neighboring countries were concerned by Iran's strike on nearby U.S. military bases, the United States bears full responsibility for the escalation, as it was the U.S. that instigated the conflict and contributed to the region's current turmoil.
