TEHRAN - A top Iranian security official has said that the United States has accepted some of Iran's seven conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while uncertainty remains over Tehran's other terms, according to local media on Sunday.

In an interview with state-run Press TV, which was published on Sunday, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei elaborated on the latest messages and proposals exchanged between Tehran and Washington to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

"Over the past two months, the Americans have requested us through three different channels, namely Pakistan, Qatar and even Iraq, to submit our proposals to them. We announced seven conditions to the Americans and explicitly told them that the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened to them and there will be no negotiation unless these conditions are met," Rezaei said.

"The Americans have now responded to us. In their response, they have accepted some of our conditions while some others' situation remains unclear and there exist some ambiguities," he added.

He also said that if the United States launches another "aggression" against Iran, its assets, including key data systems and artificial intelligence sensors, in the West Asia region will be targeted.

Serious environmental hazards

On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said the US-Israeli attacks on Iran's oil, refinery and energy facilities during the 40-day war have created serious environmental hazards.

As confirmed by the United Nations Environment Programme, the consequent fires and burning of hydrocarbon materials released dangerous chemical compounds, Araghchi said at the International Conference on "Ecocide, A Silent War Crime" in Tehran, according to an Iranian Foreign Ministry statement.

Araghchi said the released pollutants can travel through air to soil and water, even entering the food chain, stressing that their impacts can outlast both the time and place of the attack, the statement read.

He also pointed to the "deep and persistent" environmental toll of military attacks in Gaza and Lebanon, adding that Iran maintains international law must not turn a blind eye to wartime destruction of the environment and fundamental human rights, it added.

Not to abandon nuclear technology on a 'bullying' power's demand

At the International Conference on "Ecocide, A Silent War Crime" in Tehran on Sunday, President of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami said the country will not abandon its domestically developed nuclear technology simply because a "bullying" power demands it.

Iran's atomic chief stressed that the nation must not be deprived of its own scientific achievements owing to its refrainment from submitting to others' demands and imposed policies or acquiescing to their orders, according to a statement published on the AEOI's website.

Eslami pointed to the US officials' frequent threats of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities with tactical or even atomic weapons, stressing that the Iranian nation will never surrender.

He also denounced the US and Israeli attacks against Iran's nuclear facilities, which are under the safeguards regime of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as well as the agency's failure to condemn those strikes.
