Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of Iran, stated that while Iran is not seeking a ceasefire, it wants the war with the United States and Israel to end in a way that prevents future attacks. He emphasized that Iran is prepared to continue fighting as long as necessary to ensure its security and deter further aggression. During the press conference, attended by spokesman Esmail Baghaei, Iran reiterated its stance of resistance against external pressure and rejected any notion of surrender. Officials also highlighted the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that while it remains open, ship movements are being monitored and coordinated by Iran, which claims to ensure safe passage through the vital waterway.
Abba Father, we pray for peace between nations. Bring an end to conflict and guide leaders toward reconciliation and lasting stability. Lord, protect civilians, workers, and all those affected by conflict. Keep them safe from harm and provide refuge in times of danger. Amen (The Holy Bible, Psalm 46:9).
Lord, we pray for stability in critical regions like the Strait of Hormuz. Let peace prevail so that global trade and daily life are not disrupted. Amen (The Holy Bible, Matthew 5:9).
