Iran's Top Security Official: No Talks With US Underway

usnews.com —

Iran's top security official Mohsen Rezaei said no negotiations are currently underway between Tehran and Washington, according to an interview with pro-Iran broadcaster Al-Mayadeen. Iran insists the US must meet seven conditions from a June interim agreement before the Strait of Hormuz can reopen and talks resume. Rezaei said Iran sought a "clear and explicit" US response but has not received one, though Washington could reply later. After meeting mediator Qatar on Monday, US President Donald Trump downplayed the likelihood of major warfare soon but declined to accept the existing Iranian truce plan.
