Rezaei demands surrender
Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, urged the United States to accept Iran's seven conditions and said Washington should stop fabricating news about imaginary talks.
Rezaei wrote that "The war on Iran has already wrecked the US government" and added, "FOLD YOUR HAND. STOP manufacturing FAKE NEWS about imaginary talks."
Rezaei also told Americans that "Time to SURRENDER to the seven conditions Iran has repeatedly set out," framing the dispute as a response to damage he said the war has caused.
Mehr News Agency reported that Rezaei said the United States must accept Iran's seven conditions and that the war has already badly damaged Washington.
The statements appeared alongside other Iranian messaging that called for surrender to the same seven conditions.
No talks without steps
A senior Iranian security official said Tehran has no plans for talks with Washington unless the United States takes practical measures to fulfill Iran's seven conditions.
The official said, "There are no plans for talks with Washington unless the US takes practical measures to fulfill Iran’s seven conditions," according to Iran’s Press TV as cited by bloomingbit.
Bloomingbit also reported that the official denied reports that Mohsen Rezaei and U.S. Vice President JD Vance could meet in Doha, Qatar.
Bloomingbit further said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that the conflict would continue if Washington rejects Iran's proposal to end the war.
The same seven conditions were presented as the threshold for any diplomatic contact, with the Strait of Hormuz tied to acceptance in other Iranian statements.
Strait of Hormuz and sanctions
Manouchehr Mottaki said that until Iran's seven conditions are accepted, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened and negotiations with the United States will not occur. Mottaki said, "Until Iran’s seven conditions are accepted, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened," and he added that negotiations with the United States will not occur. Mottaki also said, "If the Americans do not pay compensation, we will force it from them by force," linking compensation to the conditions he described.
Khabaronline reported that Mottaki framed the conditions as including acceptance of Iran's management of the Strait of Hormuz and the withdrawal of American military forces from the region. The same seven conditions were described in other Iranian statements as including lifting a naval blockade and economic sanctions, releasing frozen funds, and compensating for war damages.
