Iran sends conditions to US via Qatar for ending war, including lifting naval blockade

Iran has conveyed its conditions to mediators for re-engaging in negotiations to end the war with the United States. The head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, said Iran passed a message via Qatar and is awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump. The conditions include ending the war on all fronts, releasing seized Iranian assets, and ending the US naval blockade of Iranian ports. Earlier negotiations fell apart after a 14-point framework agreement expired. Meanwhile, US Central Command reported supporting the transit of a billion barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, but shipping traffic remains below pre-war levels.
