Senior IRGC adviser Mohsen Rezaei says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless the U.S. pays “reparations,” as Tehran formally rejects Washington’s proposal for a deal. U.S. terms reportedly included dismantling key nuclear sites like Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, shipping out enriched uranium, and accepting long-term inspections, with only limited sanctions relief. Tehran dismissed the deal as “unrealistic.” Meanwhile, U.S. force buildup continues. Multiple Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy and Boeing C-17 Globemaster III aircraft have arrived in the region alongside refueling tankers.
