  "account": "Iranian officials are warning of potential attacks on Middle Eastern infrastructure as the country awaits a formal US response to a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed expectations of a formal US reply to Tehran's proposal, reported state media. Iran has been blocking commercial shipping through Hormuz since the conflict began in late February following US-Israeli strikes. The US military has been countering Iran's blockade by preventing Tehran from exporting oil. The current negotiations focus solely on Hormuz, with Iran demanding a seven-day ceasefire, unfreezing of Iranian assets, lifting of sanctions on its oil sector, and an end to the US naval blockade of its ports. Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, threatened new attacks if Iran's security was not guaranteed, stating that no infrastructure in the region would be safe. Iran's Revolutionary Guards dismissed US claims that the strait is open, insisting it is closed and only a few hundred barrels of oil can pass through under cover of darkness.",
