In a statement carried by state media, the council said in recent days, with the presence of the commander of the Pakistani army in Tehran as an intermediary and mediator in the negotiations, the US has put forward new proposals, which Iran is currently reviewing and has not yet responded to.
The council stressed that Iran’s negotiating delegation “will not make even the slightest compromise, retreat or leniency,” and will firmly defend the nation’s interests.
It also underscored Iran’s determination to enforce supervision and control over maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz until a definitive end to the conflict.
According to the council, any reopening would involve Iran issuing transit certificates to vessels and collecting fees for services related to security, safety, and environmental protection.
On the same day, the Iranian military announced the reimposition of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, just hours after briefly reopening it, during which more than 10 commercial vessels were able to pass through.
