Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, accused US President Donald Trump of 'betraying diplomacy for the third time' due to the ongoing naval blockade on Iran and what he described as excessive demands during negotiations. Rezaei's comments followed Trump's announcement of a meeting in the White House 'Situation Room' to finalize a potential agreement with Iran. In a post on Truth Social, Trump outlined conditions for the deal, including Iran's commitment to never pursue nuclear weapons, the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for unrestricted shipping, and the removal of all sea mines. The Strait, a vital maritime corridor that carries approximately 20% of the world's LNG supplies, remains largely inaccessible as US-Iran relations continue to struggle over a peace deal. Many vessels navigating the strait face security risks, leading them to switch off transponders to avoid detection. The current situation underscores the complexities of achieving a diplomatic resolution in the region.
