Iran Proposes Reopening Strait of Hormuz and Ending Hostilities if US Lifts Blockade

Iran has offered to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz and end the current conflict if the United States removes its naval blockade. According to a report by Axios, the proposal was delivered to Washington through Pakistan and would defer nuclear negotiations until after a broader deal is reached. Tehran sees the US blockade as a key pressure tool and hopes lifting it could pave the way for peace. The US has maintained its blockade to cut off Iran’s oil revenue, while Iran’s own restrictions have disrupted global oil flows and driven up prices. With talks at an impasse, President Trump is set to convene his national security team to assess next steps.
