Iran security council says US response to Iran's demands was not convincing

Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), said on Tuesday that the US response concerning Iran's rights and demands was not convincing, according to a post he published on a social media platform.

In the post, Rezaei said the Americans must provide a full and explicit response to Iran's seven conditions and implement them. He also stated that the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened only if these conditions are fully met.

The statement did not detail the seven conditions or specify what the US response contained. It also did not indicate what steps, if any, would follow if the conditions are not met. The Strait of Hormuz is a key waterway through which a significant share of global oil shipments passes.

Rezaei, a senior security official, framed the matter as a test of whether Washington would address Iran's stated requirements in full rather than partially. The remarks were attributed to him in the social media post and were carried by Mehr News.

According to Mehr News, the SNSC secretary's comments centered on the US response to Iran's demands and on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which he linked directly to the full implementation of the seven conditions.
