Iran Offers Strait of Hormuz Reopening for Eased U.S. Pressure

Iran has signaled a potential willingness to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz within seven days, contingent upon the United States easing military pressure and lifting its blockade on Iranian ports. This offer comes as Iran's military central command warned of retaliation against potential U.S. military operations, which it claims are being prepared with regional support.

A senior Iranian official stated that Tehran desires a diplomatic resolution and is prepared to discuss details for ending hostilities in New York, where the Iranian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly is present and reportedly holds full authority to revive diplomacy with the U.S. While President Masoud Pezeshkian is in New York, a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump is not expected.
