“Hormuz cannot be opened until seven requirements are met”… american pressure

(Cairo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kim Sang-hoon = Amid a war of nerves over the resumption of peace negotiations between the United States and Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's security chief reaffirmed his position that nuclear materials such as enriched uranium can never be exported.

Mohsen Rezai, Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), said in an interview with Al-Mayadeen, a pro-Iran media outlet in Lebanon, on the 11th (local time), "We have informed Russia that the nuclear enrichment material will remain in Iran and we will use it ourselves."

He emphasized that not a single particle of enriched nuclear material will be taken out of Iranian territory and that "enriched material is needed to design nuclear-powered ships and submarines."

Secretary-General Rezai went on to warn, “We have advanced cyber warfare capabilities that can control U.S. unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and force them to land on the ground,” adding, “Any attack by the U.S. will be accompanied by targeted strikes against remote U.S. military bases.”

In particular, he added, "Ending the war on the West Asian front, especially in Lebanon, is one of our key conditions."

Regarding the status of negotiations with the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume peace discussions, he pointed out, "We presented seven conditions to the United States and are awaiting a clear response," and "The initial response from the United States was deceptive and insufficient from our standpoint."

He also pressed that the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until the seven conditions presented by Iran are fulfilled.

“After the 5th plenary session of the China Plenum, denuclearization becomes more distant… Cooperation must be expanded through 1.5 track dialogue.”

The Korea Institute for National Unification analyzed that after the 20th Plenary Session of China's 20th Central Committee, discussions on denuclearization have become distant due to the strengthening of Xi Jinping's regime, and the tighter high-level exchanges between North Korea and China have enabled North Korea to 'hold on' and there is a high risk that the disconnect between North and South Korea will harden.
