Iran Offers to Reopen Strait of Hormuz in Two Days if US Meets Demands; Trump Signals Possible Deal

Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if the US accepts its demands, including sanctions relief and an end to the war, as diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the eight-month conflict showed progress on Monday. US President Donald Trump signaled a deal with Tehran was possible, while indirect negotiations through Qatar and Pakistan are underway. Iran's conditions include unfreezing assets, lifting oil sanctions, ending Washington's counter-blockade, and accepting a new Oman-brokered shipping route. Oil prices fell over 7% on hopes of a breakthrough, though fresh US strikes on Iran were reported. Trump continues military pressure, warning of potential action against suspected nuclear sites, while Iran vows immediate retaliation for any aggression.
