Iran is ready to open the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days if the US reduces military pressure and lifts the blockade on Iranian ports.
Modern.az reports that an anonymous high-ranking Iranian official told Reuters.
According to him, if the US reduces military pressure, Iran can reopen the Strait of Hormuz within a week.
According to the source, Washington must also lift the blockade on Iranian ports.
The Iranian official also stated that the UN General Assembly session in New York provides an opportunity to resume diplomatic talks with the US. According to him, the Iranian delegation has full authority to restart the talks.
Reuters notes that the Strait of Hormuz is strategically important for global energy supply. Before the conflict, approximately one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies passed through this waterway.
