Iran Insists on Seven Conditions Before Reopening Hormuz After Trump Rejects Truce

Iran maintained that the Strait of Hormuz will only be reopened if the United States fulfills a seven-point plan presented by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, which calls for a region-wide ceasefire, the unfreezing of Iranian assets and the lifting of oil sanctions. President Donald Trump rejected the truce proposal, describing it as a move by Iran under pressure. Tehran said it has not yet received a definitive position from mediators and will act based on their response.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister criticized the lack of international action, while Russia’s foreign minister offered constructive assistance to stabilize the area. In New York, President Masoud Pezeshkian met UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, reiterating Iran’s loss of trust in the United States. Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebi warned that Iran will continue to punish the U.S. until all seven conditions are satisfied.
