Event details
Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, posted on X that Tehran will not negotiate with Washington until Iran's conditions are met, dismissing President Trump's prior statement that the US was 'open' to engaging with Iran. Rezaei wrote 'No talks until Iran's conditions are met. Period!' and warned the situation around oil and regional waterways has changed, referencing Iran's demands for war reparations and sanctions relief before ending its Strait of Hormuz blockade.
Context
Iran's public rejection closes the door Trump opened a day earlier, meaning the Hormuz blockade and reduced oil-product shipping through the strait are set to continue with no near-term diplomatic off-ramp.
