  "summary": "Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary, Mohsen Rezaei, has stated that Tehran will only engage in talks if all its conditions are met. This comes after US President Donald Trump expressed interest in negotiations. Rezaei also noted that the stakes around oil and the straits have changed.\n\nIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is set to meet with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in China. The meeting may help lay the groundwork for a visit by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who was appointed as Iran's special representative for China affairs in May.\n\nA planned regional meeting to address conflicts in the Middle East, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, has been postponed indefinitely. According to Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, the meeting was called off, although Iran later claimed it was due to objections by Saudi Arabia.",
