Iran offers to reopen Hormuz if US lifts blockade

Iranian officials have stated that Tehran is willing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the United States lifts its naval blockade and the ongoing war ends. This offer aligns with a proposal previously reviewed by President Trump, who expressed dissatisfaction with its terms. The proposal calls for the removal of sanctions and a halt to military operations in exchange for restoring normal maritime traffic through the strategic waterway. The offer comes amid a protracted war of economic attrition, with Iran leveraging its control over the Strait to pressure the US and its allies.
