Iran responds to US proposals on nuclear issue and Strait of Hormuz

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei said the United States' proposal centers on the nuclear issue, while Tehran prefers to focus on the Strait of Hormuz.

Baghaei added that Iran has clarified its position on negotiations through intermediaries, but the return of International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors has not been discussed.

The Foreign Ministry spokesperson also noted that the current US proposals are largely similar to previous American positions.

Earlier, Islamic Consultative Assembly Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that the Strait of Hormuz would not be opened until the seven conditions outlined in the Islamabad understanding are met, emphasizing that Iran does not determine its national security based on US officials' statements on social media.
