Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Friday, May 15, 2026, that he had "received messages" from the United States stating that it is willing to continue talks and that he was open to any support, including from China, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Xi Jinping had offered China's assistance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Mr. Araghchi told reporters in New Delhi, "We received messages again from the Americans saying that they are willing to continue the talks and continue the interaction." According to Mr. Trump, the Chinese leader also promised not to provide military hardware to support Iran in its conflict with Israel and the United States.
