Iran: ready to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US lifts the port blockade (media)

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Iran is prepared to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States lifts its blockade on Iranian ports. This was reported by the Japanese news agency Kyodo, citing a senior official in Tehran, who added that the Iranian proposal had been conveyed to Washington in recent days and would form the basis for discussions with mediating countries at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The same official ruled out a meeting between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Assembly, but said that progress towards an agreement remained possible. “There is a possibility of moving towards an agreement,” he said, provided Washington can demonstrate “seriousness and commitment” so as to enable progress to be made in the diplomatic process.
