Iran's foreign minister keeps indirect talks with the U.S. open; Iranian navy claims capture of underwater drone

Iran is sticking to its position that it would only reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz if its conditions are met, despite a rebuke from U.S. President Donald Trump , while a senior Iranian military leader stressed his country's readiness to continue fighting. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Sunday claimed that it seized an autonomous U.S. submarine. "Our conditions are clear; any progress toward the opening of the Strait of Hormuz is contingent upon the fulfillment of these conditions, and we will not back down from them," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on his Telegram channel translated by Google.
