Iran has refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or resume negotiations with the United States until Washington accepts seven conditions. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that the responsibility for the next move now rests with Washington. He added that Iran is waiting for an official response to its demands.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Ghalibaf said Tehran had already sent a clear response outlining its conditions but had not received a specific reply from the US.

“The ball is now in the Americans’ court, and they must make a decision and announce it," he said.

He also warned US President Donald Trump against launching another military operation against Iran. “If Trump decides to go to war again, he will face another defeat," Ghalibaf said.

Iran's senior security official Mohsen Rezaei also said that no negotiations were currently taking place between Tehran and Washington. Speaking to Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV, he said Iran is waiting for a clear response from the US on its demands. Reuters reported his remarks.

His comments came after Trump met Qatar's mediators at the White House on Monday. The US president played down the possibility of another major military operation against Iran but did not accept Tehran's existing truce proposal.

Rezaei warned that Iran could target American military bases outside the Middle East if Washington used them to launch attacks against Iranian territory.

“If American aircraft take off from an American military base, even one located in a European country or some other distant region, to bomb Iran, we will strike those bases as well," he told Al-Mayadeen.

He added that Iran could also target other distant US military installations and islands that Washington considers beyond the reach of Iranian missiles.

Iran's demands include the removal of US sanctions, the release of frozen Iranian assets, an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and compensation for war-related damage. Tehran has also demanded an end to fighting across regional fronts, including Lebanon.

According to The Associated Press, Iran's proposal suggests reopening the Strait of Hormuz on the sixth day after Washington fulfils its demands. Negotiations on a final agreement would begin the following day.
