“In Their Response, They Have Accepted Some Of Our Conditions, While Others Remain Unclear – Rezaee

According to Jerusalem post, Iran has rejected the United States’ response to its conditions for reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz, describing Washington’s position as insufficient and insisting that further progress depends on meeting Tehran’s demands.

Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaee, disclosed this on Sunday, October 11, 2026, according to Reuters, saying the American response failed to provide adequate clarification on some of the conditions presented by Tehran.

Iran had submitted seven conditions to the United States during the United Nations General Assembly, proposing that normal maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz could resume within seven days if its demands were fulfilled.

The US reportedly responded to the proposal through Qatari intermediaries, as diplomatic efforts continued to end the conflict and restore shipping activities in the Gulf.

Rezaee, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Washington had accepted some of Tehran’s conditions but left others unresolved.

He insisted that Iran would not reopen the waterway to the United States or engage in negotiations until the conditions were met.

In his words, “We presented seven conditions to the Americans and clearly stated that the Strait of Hormuz would not be opened to them, and no negotiations would take place, until these conditions are met.”

He also called on Washington to clarify the issues that remained unclear to Iranian officials, stressing that Tehran was no longer responding to the Americans.

“In their response, they have accepted some of our conditions, while others remain unclear,” Rezaee said.

The White House had not immediately responded to a Reuters request for comment on Iran’s latest position.

The disagreement comes amid continuing diplomatic efforts to revive a ceasefire arrangement in the Gulf and restore normal movement through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important maritime routes for energy supplies.

Tehran said in late September that it had received a US response to its latest proposal aimed at reviving the collapsed ceasefire. This came days after US President Donald Trump said he had rejected the proposal.

Qatar and other mediators have continued transmitting messages between Washington and Tehran in an effort to end the conflict and reach an agreement on reopening the waterway.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for global energy markets, carrying about one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies before the conflict began.

The war started in late February following US and Israeli attacks on Iran, triggering tensions that disrupted regional security and maritime activities.

Iran’s rejection of the American response highlights the difficulties facing diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis, with Tehran maintaining that its conditions must be addressed before normal passage through the strategic waterway can be restored.
