Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday that his country "cannot trust the Americans at all" and that they are "trying to maintain" the "shaky" ceasefire "to give diplomacy a chance."

Axar.az informs, citing CBS News, that speaking at a press conference in New Delhi during the ongoing BRICS summit, Araghchi added that the Strait of Hormuz "is open, and all vessels can pass," except those that belong to "countries that are at war with us."

"We are now in a ceasefire, although it is very shaky," he said. "But we are trying to maintain it in order to give diplomacy a chance so that a negotiated, diplomatic solution can be found."

He described the lack of trust in the U.S. as "the main obstacle to any diplomatic effort."

"We cannot trust the Americans at all," he said. "Everything must be precise and clearly defined before any agreement can be concluded."

"Every day brings a different message, sometimes even two different messages in a single day, which deepens mistrust."
