  "account": "Iranian officials have stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Iran's seven conditions, as outlined in a June interim agreement with the United States, are met. This position was reiterated by Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who emphasized that the United States' recent proposals through a mediator were insufficient and that Iran would not negotiate one-sided demands. Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi, speaking to foreign ambassadors and diplomats in Tehran, confirmed that Iran had clearly communicated its conditions for reopening the strait, which are contingent upon commitments from the US. Araqchi expressed hope that Washington would opt for diplomatic solutions but warned that Iran would respond with force if the US continued with military actions.",
