"Event 4 describes Iran conditioning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on US acceptance of a proposal. The new event is the direct diplomatic consequence: the US rejecting that specific proposal, thereby maintaining the closure."
"Event 6 details the Iranian Parliament Speaker asserting that the closure is contingent on seven conditions. The new event represents the US side of this same diplomatic standoff, rejecting the terms (the proposal) that would satisfy those conditions."
"Event 11 shows the Iranian FM asserting diplomatic channels remain open. The new event, where the US rejects the ceasefire proposal, represents a failure of those channels and a hardening of positions, escalating the diplomatic tension despite the stated openness."
