Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says Tehran regards the latest U.S. response to a proposal aimed at ending the war as “insufficient.” A senior official, Mohsen Rezaei, says Iran is no longer responding to the U.S. and that Washington must clarify certain issues, without specifying them. He says the U.S. has accepted some of Iran’s stated conditions, while others remain unclear, as negotiations to end the conflict and fully open the Strait of Hormuz continue.
Iran also warns that if fighting intensifies again, it could target regional infrastructure, including data centres and cables, according to state-run reporting. Separately, Israel’s political and legal developments continue in parallel: Israel’s former attorney general testifies in corruption cases against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Outlets note that Netanyahu’s political future is closely tied to upcoming elections scheduled for weeks away, with the trial’s proceedings continuing.
While all reports center on Iran’s reaction to U.S. diplomacy, they also link the announcement to concurrent regional developments including the resumption of Netanyahu’s corruption trial and election-related political uncertainty.
