Iran says the United States’ reply to Tehran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is “insufficient,” according to Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei, quoted by state media. The dispute centers on seven conditions set by Iran for restoring normal maritime passage.

Iran’s proposal, presented at the UN General Assembly, calls for the strait to be reopened and maritime traffic resumed within seven days if the conditions are met. The US response was delivered through Qatari intermediaries rather than directly, Reuters-cited reporting says. Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi also says nuclear negotiations are continuing, with messages exchanged via mediators.

Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on Iran’s rejection of Washington’s answer, while others note broader context around ongoing talks and mention that the US is considering military options amid rising tensions. Across reports, however, all describe the same core exchange and timeline tied to the seven conditions.
