Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says today’s events in the Strait of Hormuz show that there is no military solution to the crisis, adding that talks are making progress with Pakistan’s mediation while warning the United States and the United Arab Emirates against being drawn into a “quagmire by ill-wishers.”
Events in Hormuz make clear that there's no military solution to a political crisis.
As talks are making progress with Pakistan's gracious effort, the U.S. should be wary of being dragged back into quagmire by ill-wishers. So should the UAE.
Project Freedom is Project Deadlock.
