Iran's top security official says no talks underway with US

​Iran's top ‌security official ​Mohsen Rezaei said there are currently no negotiations ‌taking place between Tehran and Washington, in an interview with pro-Iran broadcaster Al-Mayadeen.

Iran has insisted ‌the US must meet seven ‌conditions set out in a June interim agreement before the Strait of Hormuz can reopen and ⁠negotiations ​resume. Rezaei ⁠said Iran had asked the US for ⁠a "clear and explicit" response to its conditions, but ​had yet to receive one, adding that ⁠Washington could respond in the future.

After meeting ⁠with ​mediator Qatar on Monday, US President Donald Trump played down the ⁠likelihood of major warfare restarting soon but remained ⁠unwilling ⁠to accept the existing Iranian truce plan.
