The United States and Iran are reportedly discussing a plan that would allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen about 30 days after the two countries reach an agreement to end hostilities, the Nikkei newspaper said on Monday, citing a Middle East diplomatic source.
Under the plan, Iran would spend a 30-day period after any deal clearing mines from the strait so that vessels could transit “freely and safely,” the report said. After the clearing window, ships from all countries would be able to navigate the waterway without the mine threat, and Iran would stop collecting transit fees, Nikkei added.
The report also said the ceasefire that was agreed in early April would be extended for 60 days. During that two-month pause, the sides would hold talks on Iran’s nuclear programme, according to the diplomatic source cited by Nikkei.
If implemented, the measures would restore safer passage through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and halt Iran’s collection of transit fees during normalised shipping operations. The proposal remains a reported plan and has been attributed to a diplomatic source in the region.
Nikkei is the primary source for these details; NDTV notes this story was published from a syndicated feed and — apart from the headline — has not been edited by NDTV staff.
