A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran and the US remain "far from reaching an agreement to end the war", and stressed that Tehran will not accept Washington's "excessive demands". The senior official said that the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz depends on the US meeting Iran's conditions, with the nuclear talks. Meanwhile, mediators are working to narrow the gaps between the two sides.
