Iran has offered to lift its effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz without linking to its nuclear program, per regional officials.
US President Donald Trump will meet security officials on Monday to discuss the diplomatic stalemate and possible resumption of bombing.
Planned talks between Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Pakistan were cancelled by Trump.
Closure of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil, raises concerns of energy‑fuelled inflation and slower world growth.
