Iran offered Tuesday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States eases military pressure and lifts port blockades, according to a senior Iranian official cited by Reuters. The proposal, delivered to Washington via mediators on September 16, conditions diplomacy on the US officially committing to a negotiated resolution with a timeline. Iran's UN delegation holds full authority to revive talks, though President Masoud Pezeshkian will not meet President Donald Trump in New York. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is open to speaking with Iranians at the UN General Assembly, though no meeting is scheduled, reiterating that Iran must never possess a nuclear weapon.
