Iran has announced it is ready to reopen the strategic Hormuz Strait within two days if the United States accepts Tehran's proposed terms, according to state media. This follows a previous proposal that had set a seven-day timeline. The offer comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported that 11 oil tankers caught fire in the Hormuz Strait since the visit of the U.S. Central Command chief. Tehran claims it has passed a proposal through Qatari mediators to Washington, leaving the decision to the United States. The IRGC's statement highlights the ongoing dispute over maritime access and security in the region.
The situation has escalated with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening a swift attack on Iranian targets, while Iran has warned of severe retaliation. The Hormuz Strait, a critical passage for global oil shipments, remains a focal point of diplomatic and military tensions. The offer to reopen the strait represents a potential shift in the ongoing standoff, though the outcome depends on U.S. Response.
