Iran has offered to reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States eases military pressure and lifts its blockade on Iranian ports, a senior Iranian official said Tuesday. The proposal was reportedly conveyed to Washington through mediators as Tehran seeks to restart negotiations and end hostilities. Iranian officials said their delegation attending the UN General Assembly in New York has authority to pursue diplomatic talks. The development also affected global oil markets, with crude prices falling as investors saw the offer as a possible step toward reducing disruption around the key shipping route. However, tensions remain high in the region. (PC: X)
