Iran has offered to end its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz if the United States lifts its blockade on the country and the ongoing war is brought to a close, according to two regional officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, as reported by AP.
Tehran's proposal, delivered to the United States by intermediaries from Pakistan, calls for an end to the Iranian-imposed blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which a significant portion of the world's traded oil passes. The Iranian offer hinges on the removal of the US-led blockade on its oil exports and the cessation of hostilities in the region. However, the proposal also includes a delay in discussions on Iran's nuclear programme, a contentious issue at the heart of the ongoing US-Iran standoff.
