Iran says US met some of 7 war conditions
The Indian Express··19h ago
Iran's Mohsen Rezaei said the US accepted some of Tehran's seven conditions to end the West Asia war, calling the reply insufficient. Demands include ending fighting on all fronts, releasing frozen funds, and lifting the US naval blockade. Iran says Hormuz stays closed until every condition is met. Reuters said reopening could follow within seven days if terms were met.

What It Means For You
- Iran says Hormuz stays shut to US traffic, and that there will be no talks, until the conditions are met.
- Before the war, about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passed through Hormuz, Reuters reported.
- Qatar and other mediators are carrying messages between Washington and Tehran on reopening the waterway.
What's Happening
- Rezaei is Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and spoke to Al Jazeera.
- Iran put the plan forward during the UN General Assembly; the US replied through Qatari go-betweens.
- Rezaei said some US answers remain unclear and that Iran is no longer in the process of replying, according to Reuters.
How The Standoff Began
- The war began at the end of February with US and Israeli attacks on Iran, the report said.
- Iran said in late September it had received a US response to an earlier Gulf ceasefire proposal.
- That reply came days after US President Donald Trump said he had rejected the earlier plan.
