## Key points

- Iran called the US ceasefire offer insufficient.
- Strikes were reported on strategic Qeshm Island.
- Tehran says seven conditions must be met to reopen Hormuz.

## Summary

Iran said a US ceasefire proposal was insufficient, casting doubt on last-minute efforts to prevent renewed fighting. The negotiations unfolded after US air strikes were reported on Qeshm Island, raising tensions around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei said the US must explicitly meet seven Iranian conditions before the strait would be reopened. Iran says its proposed diplomatic plan includes ending the US blockade of Iranian ports, reopening the strait, easing oil restrictions and sanctions, followed by nuclear talks; Tehran says it could be implemented in two days. The US described the reported strikes as defensive, while Iran said it had downed a US Reaper drone and two Lucas drones. Earlier ceasefire understandings failed, partly over disagreement about control of traffic through the strait.
