Iran Security Chief Rejects Talks Until Conditions Met

Iran has rejected renewed negotiations with the United States until Washington meets Tehran’s conditions, according to Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei. His statement followed current President Donald Trump’s claim that Washington was open to talks, which Iranian officials described as contradictory and unreliable. Iran has demanded measures including an end to hostilities and the U.S. blockade, sanctions relief, the release of frozen assets, and compensation or reparations. The dispute remains closely tied to control of the Strait of Hormuz and broader regional tensions, while an earlier agreement has faltered amid escalating military activity and diplomatic disagreements.
