Iran said on October 11 that the United States had not adequately addressed its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, described Washington’s response as insufficient and called for clarification on unresolved issues.

Tehran presented its proposal during the United Nations General Assembly, offering to restore normal maritime passage within seven days if its conditions were met. Washington subsequently replied through Qatari intermediaries. The proposed timetable was conditional and did not establish a confirmed reopening date.

Rezaei said the United States had accepted some of Iran’s seven conditions, while others remained unclear. He maintained that the strait would not reopen to Washington and negotiations would not proceed until those conditions were satisfied. His reported remarks did not identify which conditions the United States had accepted.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Rezaei’s statements. Qatar and other mediators have been exchanging messages between Washington and Tehran to seek an end to the conflict and restore maritime passage. The reported exchanges had not produced a confirmed agreement to reopen the waterway.
