Iran pushes Hormuz deal, delays nuclear talks

Iran has formally submitted a new diplomatic proposal to the United States via intermediaries, proposing to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz to US traffic but only after a ceasefire is in place. The proposal outlines a three-phase peace plan and includes postponing discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program. The offer represents a significant diplomatic move by Tehran, linking the vital waterway's status directly to a resolution of the broader conflict and the lifting of the US-led blockade.
