Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Russia for talks with officials, including President Vladimir Putin, saying “excessive demands of the United States” led to failure of talks. 
US President Donald Trump says Iranian leaders “can come to us, or they can call us” if they want to talk, a day after cancelling a planned visit by his envoys to Pakistan for negotiations. 
The standoff in the Strait of Hormuz continues, with senior Iranian lawmaker Ali Nizad saying Tehran will not allow a return to pre-war conditions in the strategic waterway.
