The Hindu - International · world

Iran has stated its readiness to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz within two days, provided the United States agrees to its conditions. This offer, conveyed by Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, is presented as a demonstration of Iran's good faith amid diplomatic efforts to prevent a return to war. The crucial energy corridor, which normally handles one-fifth of global oil consumption, has been blockaded by Iran since the conflict began. Iran's demands include ending the war, unfreezing assets, and lifting oil sanctions.
