Iran rejects U.S. pressure, holds firm on war ceasefire conditions

Iran confirmed that the U.S. struck Kish island in Hormozgan province in the south Sunday night into Monday, but assured that no residential areas or critical infrastructure were damaged. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei rejected U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's assessment that some Iranian demands are "absurd and unrealistic," and upheld Tehran's seven conditions — including lifting the port blockade and sanctions. Tehran is open to diluting highly enriched uranium but refuses to hand it over. Mediators are working to prevent escalation as talks continue.
