Iran Offers to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Within Seven Days if US Lifts Port Blockade

Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States takes initial steps to end its military blockade of Iranian ports and halt military operations around the strait, according to Kyodo News, citing a senior Iranian government official. The offer has already been conveyed to Washington through mediators, and no agreement has been reached yet.

Tehran intends to use the United Nations General Assembly in New York as the setting for further consultations with mediating countries on the proposal. Iran's conditions are not new: Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Rezaei stated earlier this month that resuming talks requires US acceptance of seven conditions, including lifting the port blockade and unfreezing Iranian assets. Iran has consistently tied any reopening of the strategically critical waterway to concrete US concessions on those points.

The Strait of Hormuz is a chokepoint for roughly a fifth of the world's seaborne oil supply, making its closure a major disruption to global energy markets. Iran's offer of a seven-day timeline represents a more defined and accelerated framework than previous positions, signaling a potential opening for diplomacy, though Washington has not publicly indicated a willingness to meet the stated conditions.
