Iran’s senior security official, Mohsen Rezaei, has stated that there are currently no negotiations taking place between Iran and the United States. During an interview with Al-Mayadeen, a broadcaster known for its pro-Iran position, Rezaei confirmed that discussions between the two countries have not resumed. His statement comes at a time when diplomatic efforts are continuing to address tensions in the region.
Rezaei explained that Iran has placed seven conditions in a June interim agreement. According to him, the United States must respond to these conditions before any progress can be made on reopening the Strait of Hormuz or restarting negotiations. The conditions are part of Iran’s demands for moving forward with discussions and addressing the ongoing disagreements between the two countries.
He also said that Tehran has requested a clear and direct response from Washington regarding its seven conditions. However, Iran has not received an official response so far. Rezaei added that the United States could still provide an answer in the future, suggesting that the possibility of diplomatic talks has not been completely ruled out.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump met with Qatari Prime Minister and mediator Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani on Monday, November 9, 2026. The meeting focused on diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions between Iran and the United States. Following the discussion, Trump said that the chances of major military action restarting soon appeared low.
However, Trump remained unwilling to accept Iran’s existing truce proposal. This shows that important differences between the two countries remain unresolved despite efforts by Qatar and other parties to encourage dialogue.
The situation has created uncertainty over the future of diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington. The Strait of Hormuz is also a major concern because it is an important international shipping route used to transport oil and other goods. Any continued disruption could affect global trade and energy supplies.
For now, Iran says it is waiting for a clear response from the United States before considering further negotiations. Although both sides have not completely closed the door to diplomacy, the disagreement over Iran’s seven conditions continues to delay progress.
