The U.S. and Iran are negotiating a plan to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by the Nikkei newspaper. The arrangement would involve a 30-day timeline following an agreement, during which Iran would be responsible for clearing mines from the passage.
The Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global oil transport, has seen tensions impact its accessibility. The report revealed that, post-demining, vessels from all nations could transit safely without incurring transit fees imposed by Iran.
As part of the broader settlement, the ceasefire established in April would be prolonged by another 60 days to facilitate dialogue on Iran's nuclear ambitions, a move set to foster stability in the region.
