Iran offers to reopen Strait of Hormuz in two days if US meets conditions

Iran said it could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if the US accepts conditions including a ceasefire and suspension of sanctions, as intense negotiations continue. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said consultations are "very intense" amid talks with the US through mediators. Iran's conditions include a regional ceasefire, unfreezing overseas assets, suspending oil sanctions, ending the US naval blockade, and accepting a new Iran-Oman transit route. The announcement follows diplomatic progress and renewed threats, with President Trump warning of potential military action. US Vice President J.D. Vance has reportedly urged direct nuclear negotiations, while Russia warned against a new attack on Iran.
