A senior Iranian official told Reuters on 5 November 2026 that Tehran sent Washington a nuclear proposal through Qatari mediators, but would discuss it only after the US met seven Iranian conditions. The US was reviewing the proposal, according to the report. Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz or resume negotiations until its requirements were fulfilled. The diplomatic messages do not amount to an agreed ceasefire or an announced reopening of the waterway.

Iran has reportedly submitted a nuclear proposal to the United States through Qatari mediators, signalling a possible diplomatic opening amid ongoing regional tensions. However, Tehran has made further negotiations conditional on Washington meeting seven Iranian demands. Senior security official Mohsen Rezaei stated that Iran would neither reopen the Strait of Hormuz nor resume talks until those conditions were fulfilled. The US was reportedly reviewing the proposal, but no ceasefire agreement or reopening of the strategic shipping route has been announced, leaving uncertainty over regional security and global energy supplies.
