The head of Iran's security apparatus assessed on November 3 (local time) that the U.S. response to Iran's demands for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of peace negotiations was insufficient.

Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and a hardliner, wrote on X that "the U.S. response to Iran's rights and demands was unconvincing."

He emphasized, "The United States must fully and clearly accept Iran's seven conditions and implement them in action," adding, "Only in this case will the Strait of Hormuz reopen."

Previously, Iran recently proposed a so-called "two-day plan" to the U.S. side through Qatar, a mediator.

This plan condenses Iran's seven-step proposal previously presented in September into a two-day schedule.

According to the proposal, on the first day, the United States must lift the blockade on Iranian ports, approve sanctions waivers on Iranian crude oil sales, and cancel all new sanctions.

Once the U.S. measures are implemented, the core of the plan is for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on the second day to restore normal maritime traffic, followed by subsequent negotiations on other issues.

While Qatar has been mediating between the U.S. and Iranian positions regarding this proposal, the United States attacked Qeshm Island in southern Iran the previous day.

U.S. officials explained that the strike was a defensive measure aimed at preventing Iran from attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran protested against the U.S. strike on Qeshm Island.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated, "The resumption of war will benefit no one."

In addition, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who leads negotiations with the U.S., warned that "Iran has its finger on the trigger and is in combat readiness," while Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that "Iran holds the legitimate right to self-defense following the U.S. strike."
