Iran’s top security official Mohsen Rezaei says there are currently no negotiations taking place between Tehran and Washington, in an interview with pro-Iran broadcaster Al-Mayadeen.

Iran has insisted the US must meet seven conditions set out in a June interim agreement before the Strait of Hormuz can reopen and negotiations resume.

Rezaei says Iran has asked the US for a “clear and explicit” response to its conditions, but has yet to receive one, adding that Washington could respond in the future.

After meeting with mediator Qatar on Monday, US President Donald Trump played down the likelihood of major warfare restarting soon but remained unwilling to accept the existing Iranian truce plan.

About this analysis

The Times of Israel reports, almost word for word from the Reuters wire, that Iran's top security official Mohsen Rezaei says no talks are under way with the US, sets out Iran's stated conditions, and notes Trump's position after meeting Qatar. The headline matches the body, each side's position is attributed to the side that holds it, and nothing in the entry misleads its reader.

What it gets right

“Iran has insisted the US must meet seven conditions set out in a June interim agreement”
The outlet reports Iran's conditions as Iran's position, attributed to Iran, without dismissing or endorsing them.
“Rezaei says Iran has asked the US for a “clear and explicit” response to its conditions, but has yet to receive one”
The outlet keeps Rezaei's account attributed to him and quotes his words exactly. This matches the wire copy in C1 and C2.
“remained unwilling to accept the existing Iranian truce plan”
The outlet gives the US position as plain reported conduct by Trump. It treats the US and Iranian positions with the same evidential standard.
