Developing
Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei said his country was preparing a list of conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz after mediators asked Tehran to set them out. The US military commanders have claimed that American forces have cleared sea mines from the Strait of Hormuz that had been laid months ago by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei said a report about a potential plot to assassinate US president Donald Trump's youngest son is a lie.
