“On May 15, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is prepared to guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for all commercial vessels once the war with the United States ends”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states Abbas Araghchi made the statement on May 15. However, the provided evidence from a web search explicitly states that Abbas Araghchi spoke on 'Sunday, March 15', not May 15. Furthermore, the evidence does not mention a guarantee of safe passage specifically 'once the war with the United States ends', but rather discusses countries contacting Tehran to discuss safe navigation amid regional tensions.
