Iran sent its conditions to US; Trump unable to decide, says Rezaei

Major General Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said Iran has conveyed its conditions to the United States but that President Donald Trump has been unable to make a decision on them.

Rezaei's remarks point to continued indirect exchanges between Tehran and Washington over the terms that might underpin any future arrangement between the two countries, though the specific content of Iran's conditions was not detailed in his comments.

The relationship between Iran and the United States has remained tense and largely adversarial for years, with periodic indications of indirect contacts or messages exchanged through intermediaries alongside continued public hostility between officials on both sides. Rezaei's comments suggest that some channel of communication regarding conditions for a potential deal or de-escalation exists, even as no breakthrough has been announced.

Iranian officials have periodically made public statements about the state of contacts with Washington, often framing the US side as hesitant or divided over how to respond to Tehran's positions. Such statements typically cannot be independently verified against the US government's own account of any exchanges.

No response from the Trump administration to Rezaei's characterization of the situation has been reported.
