Mohsen Razai, the secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security, said in an interview with the Al-Mayadeen network that the initial response of the United States to the conditions of the Islamic Republic was "deceitful" and insufficient. According to him, the Islamic Republic presented its seven conditions to the United States and until they are implemented, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened.
Razai called the statements about the continuation of negotiations between the Islamic Republic and the US and holding a meeting in Qatar "completely false and baseless" and said that the US's goal in proposing the continuation of negotiations is to reduce economic pressures and lower the price of oil.
He also dismissed reports of plans to meet with JD Vance, saying there was no such plan.
