The United States and Iran are discussing a plan that would open the Strait of Hormuz roughly 30 days after the two sides reach a deal to end hostilities, a Middle East diplomatic source told Nikkei on Monday.
Iran would proceed with clearing mines from the strait during a 30-day window following an agreement, the source said. Afterward, ships from all countries would be able to navigate freely and safely, just as they did before the de facto shutdown. Iran would stop collecting transit fees.
