🔶 “US proposal” for the phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz; Tehran demands written guarantees

The Emirati network “Erem News,” citing “informed diplomatic sources,” has reported that mediated talks between Washington and Tehran have been ongoing, and that the United States has put forward a phased proposal to Iran aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The plan would begin with a partial reduction of the U.S. maritime blockade and would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

According to the report, the second phase would involve the start of nuclear negotiations, a gradual lifting of sanctions against Iran, and the phased release of the country’s frozen assets. Diplomatic sources said the amount of assets to be released after the signing of a comprehensive nuclear agreement could reach 30 percent of the total.
