KYODO reported a senior Iranian official told the Trump administration Iran
would reopen the blocked Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US accepts
Iranian demands, including lifting a military blockade of Iranian ports. Tehran
plans to use the UN General Assembly in New York to consult mediators on the
proposal and says it would also require a US signal to cease military operations
around the strait. Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Rezaei
said earlier this month that resuming talks requires US acceptance of seven
conditions, including lifting the port blockade and unfreezing Iranian assets.
