Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned the United States and United Arab Emirates against getting drawn into a “quagmire,” saying that recent “events in (the Strait of) Hormuz make clear that there’s no military solution to a political crisis.”
Araghchi also dismissed Washington’s “Project Freedom” plan to guide merchant ships out of the strait, writing: “Project Freedom is Project Deadlock.”
Araghchi’s remarks came after the US and Iranian militaries traded shots in the strait, prompting questions over whether the nearly monthlong ceasefire will continue.
