  "account": "Iran's military has declared the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US agrees to Tehran's seven conditions, as peace talks persist. The Iranian military spokesperson emphasized that hostile actions or any new ventures in the region would not lead to reopening the strait, asserting that compliance with Iran's seven conditions is the sole pathway to its reopening. This comes after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei urged military commanders to respond swiftly to any aggression during a meeting, as reported by Mohsen Haddad, editor-in-chief of Vefagh, an Iranian newspaper. The Iranian diplomat stated that Tehran is eagerly awaiting the US response to its proposal before proceeding to final negotiations. Haddad warned that a failure in diplomatic efforts and a return to military confrontation could jeopardize the possibility of negotiations with the Trump administration. According to Iran, its demands include lifting US sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and receiving compensation for war damages. In contrast, the US insists that the nuclear issue must be addressed in any preliminary talks. The Trump administration is reportedly considering its options, potentially including the resumption of military operations.",
