Iran says US response to its seven peace conditions 'inadequate'

Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei says Washington accepted some of Tehran's seven conditions but called the reply inadequate, as Riyadh airport was hit again.

• Rezaei said the US contacted Iran over the past two months via Pakistan, Qatar and Iraq, and that Tehran conveyed seven conditions roughly two weeks ago.
• He called the US response "inadequate," saying unclear points require clarification before next stages, and that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen without meeting the conditions.
• Rezaei said Washington accepted some of the conditions but that Iran is not yet responding, awaiting the completion of the US reply.
• One person was killed and 11 wounded in a second attack on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International airport in Riyadh.
• Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei said Strait of Hormuz security cannot stabilize while US and Israeli attacks and the economic blockade continue.
• Baghaei dismissed US claims that Tehran lost leverage over the waterway and demanded the lifting of recently imposed US sanctions.
• The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile and drone, and Riyadh airport operations remain suspended pending damage assessment.
• Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered to mediate between Saudi Arabia and Yemen after a phone call with his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan.
• Baghaei said Monday that Tehran is still studying the US response and will reply to Washington through mediators once the review is complete.
• Tehran maintains its nuclear programme should be secondary to securing the waterway, a key sticking point with Washington.
• US President Donald Trump denied that Washington had agreed to Iran's seven conditions, contradicting Rezaei's claim.
