Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran is prepared to reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz if the United States agrees to conditions outlined in a proposed deal aimed at ending the ongoing hostilities.
Pezeshkian said the proposal had been coordinated with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and that Iran would honour its commitments if Washington also fulfilled its side of the agreement.
Speaking in an interview with CBS, Pezeshkian said a six-member Iranian negotiating team had been given authority to make decisions. The team includes representatives from the military, parliament and government.
The proposal reportedly seeks an end to hostilities, the lifting of US sanctions on Iranian oil, the release of at least $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets and an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the conditions mirror those contained in a memorandum of understanding reached with Washington in June.
The Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy shipments, has become a major point of contention in the nearly seven-month US-Iran conflict. Iran has indicated that the waterway could be reopened within seven days if Washington meets its conditions.
The United States has not publicly accepted the proposal. Reports that President Donald Trump rejected the plan have also emerged, leaving the initiative awaiting a formal response from Washington.
The latest development comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts surrounding the conflict, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining central to negotiations over military activity, sanctions and the flow of energy through the region.
