Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Iran will not export enriched nuclear material, threatened to attack US bases if attacked, and conditioned opening the Strait of Hormuz on ending hostilities. He denied ongoing US-Iran negotiations. Iran also announced a new missile city and sent letters to the UN and IAEA demanding condemnation of a US bounty.

Tensions continue between Tehran and Washington as Iran insists on its conditions to end the war, facing American rejection of its demands and ongoing economic and military pressure. The Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, confirmed there are no current negotiations between Tehran and Washington, stressing that resuming talks and reopening the Strait of Hormuz are contingent on the United States responding to Iranian demands. Iran's conditions include ending the war in the region, lifting the naval blockade and sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and providing guarantees regarding freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. In a related development, Iran announced the unveiling of a new strategic missile city, warning against repeated attacks, while affirming its commitment to a diplomatic solution and proposing a two-day plan to end tensions with Washington. Additionally, Araghchi sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General, the President of the Security Council, and the Director General of the IAEA, demanding a clear response and condemnation of the US announcement of a bounty of up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear program.
