Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei wrote on X: 'Don't get distracted by the U.S. president's mixed signals... The stakes around oil and the straits have changed. Damage control won't stop what's coming. No talks until Iran's conditions are met. Period!'
Why it matters
The rebuff came hours after Trump said the US was 'open' to engaging Iran, leaving no diplomatic track as the tanker war continued.
