Iran’s security chief: US has 4–5 days — no Hormuz reopen, no talks until conditions are met
Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told Iranian state television that Tehran has given the United States four to five days to comply with Iran’s conditions — and that until those conditions are accepted there will be no negotiations and the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened — a clock stamp on top of the already-boarded seven-conditions card as UNGA-week diplomacy continues.

Note
Iran’s top security official put a short clock on Washington. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, told state television that Tehran has given the United States four to five days to comply with Iran’s conditions — and that until those conditions are accepted there will be no negotiations and the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen. Iran International carries the quote stamps; Kayhan’s English service carries the same interview line that Hormuz stays shut and talks stay off until the conditions are implemented first. Rezaei said the conditions have already gone to mediators and that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is to convey them again through intermediaries at the United Nations gathering in New York.
The board already holds Tehran’s seven-conditions card from September 20; this note is the new 4–5-day linkage, not a re-list of the demands. European Council President António Costa, in a separate UNGA-week exchange with President Pezeshkian, publicly urged restoration of Hormuz navigation — a European ask, not a U.S. acceptance. Live mediator text and any traffic change stay on the HUD.
Why it matters
Tehran put a short clock on Washington: accept the conditions, or keep Hormuz shut and talks frozen. Same official who already mailed the seven demands now stamps days, not just a list.
