Why It Matters

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, chief negotiator and speaker of the Iranian parliament, said Washington made "some proposals through a mediator" after Tehran proposed a 7-day roadmap for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
However, he stressed, the US must know "that the era of wasting time and imposing unilateral demands is over", that Iran's position remains "clear and defined" and that "the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened until our seven conditions based on the Islamabad Memorandum are met". Al Jazeera reports it.
