The proposal reportedly signals Tehran’s willingness to discuss mechanisms related to the reopening of Hormuz, a strategic maritime corridor crucial to global oil shipments.
In return, Iran is said to be seeking guarantees that attacks would stop and what sources described as a lifting of the blockade or restrictive measures currently in place.
