Kashkavi, spokesman for the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said the nuclear issue is not part of current diplomatic activities or negotiations and that reports alleging nuclear talks with Western or regional parties are false. He said Iran’s position on the regional situation and on reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on whether the US accepts and implements Iran’s previously announced seven conditions. Diplomatic work has moved beyond initial consultations, he added, and final decisions rest with the other side. Kashkavi said the visit by Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir and other senior Pakistani military and security officials was hosted by Iran’s interior ministry, is bilateral and focused on border cooperation and neighborly exchanges, and is not related to mediation or new initiatives on the Strait of Hormuz conflict.
