thebalanced.newsU.S. and Iran Discuss Reopening Strait of Hormuz Following Peace Deal
The U.S. and Iran are reportedly discussing a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz about 30 days after reaching a peace deal, according to a Middle East diplomatic source cited by Nikkei. Under the plan, Iran would clear mines from the strait during this period, allowing safe navigation for all ships and ceasing transit fee collection. Additionally, a ceasefire agreed in early April may be extended for 60 days to facilitate talks on Iran's nuclear program.
