He stated Tuesday that Tehran insists the U.S. must meet seven conditions outlined in a temporary agreement from June before Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume talks.
Rezaei told Al Mayadeen, a pro-Iranian Lebanese channel, that Iran has requested a "clear and explicit" response from Washington regarding its conditions but has not yet received one, though he acknowledged the U.S. might respond later. U.S. President Donald Trump, however, downplayed the likelihood of an imminent large-scale war but maintained his refusal to accept Iran's proposed de-escalation plan.
