Iran proposes opening the Strait of Hormuz "within 7 days" after the US lifts its blockade

Odaily News: A senior Iranian official revealed that Iran has told the Trump administration that if the United States accepts Iran's demands, including lifting the military blockade on Iranian ports, Iran will open the blocked Strait of Hormuz "within seven days." Iran plans to use this proposal as a basis for consultations with mediating countries during the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

According to Iranian government officials, if the United States, in addition to lifting the port blockade, also indicates that it will stop military operations around the strait, Iran will agree to open the strait as soon as possible. Rezaei, Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said on the 19th of this month that resuming negotiations with the United States requires the US side to accept 7 conditions, including lifting the port blockade and unfreezing Iranian assets.
