Iran's foreign ministry says it is still evaluating the US response to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Qatar and Pakistan mediating. Talks are stalled over Tehran's conditions and Washington's insistence on addressing Iran's nuclear program first. The delay signals continued deadlock, keeping the strait's closure risk elevated.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary has deemed the US response to its seven conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz 'insufficient', maintaining the blockade. Concurrently, a tanker departing the strait was struck by an unidentified projectile, causing damage. This indicates continued friction and a potential escalation of maritime security incidents.
