Iran: Hormuz Open for Some, Denies Mine-laying; Seeks End to War
•Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi stated Iran allows ships from some countries through the Strait of Hormuz.
•Takht-Ravanchi denied US President Donald Trump's claim that Iran struck 28 mine-laying vessels, calling it "not true."
•Iran believes countries involved in aggression against it should not have safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
•The conflict began on February 28 with US and Israeli strikes on Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leading to regional war and Iran's retaliation.
•Iran is acting in self-defense, seeks assurances against future wars, and has been approached by "friendly countries" for mediation.
