Mohsen Rezaei, a senior official within Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, issued a firm rejection of potential diplomatic talks with the United States this week. In a public statement posted to social media, Rezaei addressed the shifting rhetoric from the U.S. administration, specifically noting that President Donald Trump has vacillated between declaring that no negotiations are planned and expressing a readiness to engage in dialogue.

Rezaei argued that these "mixed signals" are a distraction from the fundamental issues currently at play, particularly regarding oil exports and the security of regional maritime straits. He emphasized that the geopolitical landscape has shifted significantly, suggesting that the U.S. approach to "damage control" is inadequate to resolve the underlying conflict. Consequently, he declared that Iran maintains a firm stance: no formal negotiations will take place until Tehran’s specific, though currently unspecified, conditions are met.

While the report highlights the Iranian perspective on the impasse, it does not provide the specific details of the conditions required by Tehran, nor does it include a response from U.S. officials regarding these claims. The statement serves as a clear indicator that, from the Iranian government's viewpoint, the current diplomatic environment is not conducive to a breakthrough.
