Iran's Pezeshkian accuses Trump of 'bullying mentality,' vows no surrender
XLE•Strait of Hormuz remains a key pressure point
The Strait of Hormuz, conduit for a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas, has become a focus of tensions between Iran and the US.
Tehran has conveyed its conditions to reopen the strategic waterway to the United States through mediators, Iranian sources told Reuters on Tuesday.
"It cannot be the case that everyone benefits from the Strait of Hormuz while we are denied access to shipping through this waterway. The permanent deployment of hostile fleets and the expansion of the war will not lead to peace," Pezeshkian said.
Pezeshkian rejects surrender and warns against pressure
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused US President Donald Trump of a "bullying mentality" at the United Nations on Wednesday, saying Iran would not surrender in the war with the US but remained open to diplomacy to end the conflict.
