Senior Iranian official: Iran and US far from agreement to end the war

In depth

A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran and the United States are far from reaching an agreement to end the war. According to him, current US demands are exaggerated and Tehran will not accept them. According to Channel 13 News, the official said Iran's conditions must be met if the US wants the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened.

According to Channel 14, the official told Reuters that the gaps between Tehran and Washington are still large, and the remarks come after statements by President Trump and his deputy Vance about progress in contacts. Indirect talks ended without a breakthrough, and Iran continues to set preconditions for discussing the nuclear issue.

According to Channel 13 News, mediators are working hard to narrow the gaps, after an exchange of fire overnight in the Strait of Hormuz area.
