Iran Rejects US Response on Strait of Hormuz as 'Insufficient'

A senior Iranian official said Washington accepted only some of Tehran's seven conditions, warning the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed.

Iran has rejected the United States' response to its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, labeling it "insufficient," The Jerusalem Post and Arutz 7 reported. Mohsen Rezaee, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated that Tehran presented Washington with seven conditions and made clear the strait would not be reopened without full compliance.

According to Rezaee, Washington accepted some of the demands but ignored others, emphasizing that Iranian diplomacy has shifted and will not return to the previous status quo. The reports noted that indirect talks between the two countries continue through Qatari mediation. Further details regarding the content of the seven conditions have not yet been released.
