BlockBeats news, November 3: A senior Iranian official stated that mediators are working to narrow differences between Tehran and Washington, but the two sides remain far from reaching an agreement to end the war. The official said Tehran will not accept excessive U.S. demands and is prepared to respond forcefully to U.S. strikes in the Middle East and beyond. If the United States wants to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it must meet Tehran's conditions before nuclear negotiations can begin. (Jinshi)
