US President Donald Trump said Iran is interested in reaching an agreement with Washington and implementing it soon.
Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, rejected Trump’s remarks. Writing on the “X” platform, he said Tehran would not enter negotiations until Iran’s conditions were met.
“Do not be deceived by the US president’s contradictory messages, such as ‘there are no negotiations’ and ‘we are ready for negotiations.’ There will be no talks until Iran’s conditions are met,” Rezaei said.
The statements came as tensions rise in the Middle East. The confrontation has increased concerns over oil supplies and shipping through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
According to shipping data, the number of cargo vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz fell sharply at the beginning of the week. Four commodity-carrying vessels passed through the strategic waterway on Monday, compared with 10 the previous day.
Forces supporting Yemen’s government said the Houthis had mobilized more than 76,000 people during the latest fighting. According to the National Resistance Forces, the Houthis used 130 ballistic missiles, 145 unmanned aerial vehicles and 15 boats carrying explosives between Aug. 9 and Sept. 9.
Members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure also condemned new US strikes against Iran and said they opposed military operations.
The Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and Oman, is one of the world’s most important energy routes. Disruptions there can affect global oil markets and international commercial shipping.
