A senior Iranian official has stated that Iran will not make any concessions on its nuclear program. This stance remains firm even if the United States agrees to Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. According to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the waterway will stay closed until the US meets all of Iran's conditions.
Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz includes several conditions. These conditions are that within seven days, hostilities would end on all fronts, including Lebanon. Additionally, the US would need to lift its blockade on Iranian ports, release Iran's frozen funds, and waive its oil sanctions. This was stated by Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
The Iranian official's comments were reported by Reuters. The official declined to be named.
