Iran Proposes Opening Strait of Hormuz 'Within 7 Days' After US Lifts Blockade

BlockBeats news, September 22 - According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News, a senior Iranian official revealed that Iran has informed the Trump administration that if the United States accepts Iran's demands, including lifting the military blockade on Iranian ports, Iran will open the blocked Strait of Hormuz "within seven days."

Iran plans to use the United Nations General Assembly in New York as an opportunity to hold consultations with mediating countries based on this proposal. According to Iranian government officials, if the U.S. side, in addition to lifting the port blockade, also indicates it will stop military operations around the strait, Iran will agree to open the strait as soon as possible.

Rezaei, Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated on the 19th of this month that resuming negotiations with the United States requires the U.S. side to accept 7 conditions, including lifting the port blockade and unfreezing Iranian assets.
