Iran ties Strait of Hormuz reopening to seven conditions as Trump rejects proposal

Ghalibaf said the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed until Iran's seven conditions are met; Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen it.

• Ghalibaf said the US recently sent proposals via a mediator and that the strait will not reopen before Iran's conditions are met.
• Trump said he rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the strait and resume peace talks within seven days, keeping military options on the table.
• The US State Department expelled two members of Iran's UN delegation who had ignored an order to leave the country.
• The International Energy Agency said member states have released 325 million barrels from strategic reserves, of 400 million pledged in March.
• Ghalibaf said the closure is based on the Islamabad Memorandum signed with the US in June, whose implementation has stalled over disputes.
• Ghalibaf accused Washington of sending contradictory signals that vacillate between military threats and negotiation overtures.
• Ghalibaf said the seven conditions include lifting port restrictions and oil-export sanctions and releasing frozen assets.
• Araghchi said war and new sanctions will not resolve the dispute, reaffirming Iran's readiness for a fair and honorable agreement.
• The June memorandum collapsed after Trump declared it over in July, prompting Iran to suspend its participation.
