Iran offers seven-day Strait of Hormuz deal as US weighs new agreement with Tehran

Iran has reportedly offered a seven-day deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the US lifts its blockade, as President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly he is weighing a new agreement with Tehran against driving the regime "into hell." Trump reiterated his vow to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, while former inspector David Albright noted Tehran is using the lull in fighting to rebuild capabilities at Parchin and Pickaxe Mountain. Meanwhile, Britain is sending an RAF Voyager refuelling aircraft to assist Saudi Arabia against the Houthis. The moves come after Trump reportedly cancelled planned air strikes on Yemen's Iran-backed militants at the last minute, as Middle Eastern leaders gather in New York, suggesting growing momentum toward a potential US-Iran deal.
