Abdollahi also said the U.S. must recognize Iran’s total sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and accept Iran’s plans to extract “fees” from international shipping

A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Thursday that his regime has sent a “nuclear proposal” to the United States via intermediaries in Qatar.
The Iranian source said the proposal stipulates the United States must unconditionally capitulate to Tehran’s “seven demands” before the proposal can be considered. Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei made a similar comment while visiting Russia on Thursday for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“On the issue of diplomacy, we have announced seven conditions to the Americans. As long as they do not execute our seven conditions, we will neither open the Strait of Hormuz nor have negotiations,” Rezaei declared.
Emboldened by the Democrat Party’s victory in the United States’ midterm elections, Iranian Supreme National Security Council Deputy Secretary Ali Bagheri said on Friday that his regime will demand immediate and extensive concessions from the United States before engaging in further negotiations.
“It is the right of the Islamic Republic of Iran not to be satisfied with the Americans’ paper commitments before entering a new arena of diplomacy. Iran must see with its own eyes the practical actions of the United States, and once these actions are observed, the ground will be open for opening a new chapter,” Bagheri said.
