Proposed Iran Ceasefire Deal Includes Strait of Hormuz Reopening and Nuclear Talks
A proposed framework for a ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Iran includes a 60-day truce, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and reviving talks on limiting Iran's nuclear program. The deal would allow Iran to sell oil freely and require the clearing of mines in the strait, with the U.S. lifting its blockade on Iranian ports. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the deal could achieve a completely open Strait of Hormuz without tolls. However, Iranian media reported that the strait would remain under Iranian control. The deal also involves unfreezing some Iranian assets held in banks outside Iran and halting hostilities on all fronts, including Israel and Lebanon. A senior Iranian source indicated that Tehran had not agreed to hand over its highly enriched uranium stockpile, contradicting earlier reports.
