00:00Talks to reach a final deal between Tehran and Washington will not start if US threats continue,
00:06says Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arakji.
00:09This comment was made after US President Donald Trump's threat to finish the job if a deal is not made.
00:15On X, Arakji posted that negotiations on final deal will not commence if threats continue
00:21and asked Trump to honour his signature on the deal.
00:24Arakji's post was referring to an interim deal signed last month by Iran and the US
00:30that calls upon both sides to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other.
00:37Meanwhile, security situation remains tense in the Strait of Hormuz
00:41after two tankers were hit, sparking a fire aboard one of the vessels.
00:47There has been no claim of responsibility for the attacks,
00:50but US officials speaking to Axios blamed Iran.
00:54While Iranian media claimed the tanker was targeted
00:56because it planned to transit an Omani shipping route with the support of the US Navy.
