Iranian Security Official Says Trump 'Unable to Decide' on Conditions Conveyed by Tehran

The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, said that Iran has conveyed its conditions to the United States, but that US President Donald Trump has been unable to make a decision on the matter, according to Iran's state news agency IRNA.

Rezaei's comments frame the current state of US-Iran engagement as one in which Tehran has laid out its position, while placing responsibility for the lack of progress on what he described as indecision on the part of the US president.

Context of ongoing tensions

The remarks come against a backdrop of long-running tension between Iran and the United States, with periods of indirect or direct engagement over various issues punctuated by extended stretches of stalemate.

IRNA's report does not specify the exact nature of the conditions Iran says it has conveyed, nor does it include any response from US officials to Rezaei's characterization of the situation.

As a senior Iranian security official, Rezaei's public statements are often seen as reflecting positions closely aligned with Iran's broader security and foreign policy establishment.

No independent confirmation of the specific claims in Rezaei's statement was available at the time of reporting.
