Iran's Supreme National Security Council, as relayed by Al Jazeera Arabic and Tasnim, says the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen before Iran's conditions are implemented, with no direct talks with the US unless its seven conditions are fully met, conveyed through mediators including Pakistan and Qatar. Al Jazeera Arabic adds that Tehran is awaiting the US response to its reply. Separately, the Iranian Army Navy, as relayed by the ME Observer channel, says its Hormuz policy is unchangeable despite US President's claims, which it calls false.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
