Iran will only accept a fair and comprehensive deal

Iran: On 6 May 2026, Araghchi said Iran will accept only a fair and comprehensive deal. Trump paused the Hormuz operation, called 'Project Freedom', in a push for an Iran deal. Araghchi called it 'Project Deadlock'.

During Araghchi's visit to Beijing, China called for a ceasefire in the Iran war and for Hormuz to reopen as soon as possible. Araghchi said China agrees that post-war Iran has enhanced international standing. Macron said he discussed the Hormuz situation with Iran's president.
