Tehran hints at Hormuz talks with US as leaders gather at UN

Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US eases its military pressure. According to a senior Iranian official, the proposal was conveyed to Washington through mediators and calls for renewed negotiations toward a permanent end to hostilities. The initiative has reportedly been approved by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and the Supreme National Security Council.

The offer comes as US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian are set to attend the UN General Assembly in New York, marking the first time they will be at the same event since Trump launched "Operation Epic Fury" against Iran in February.

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has stated that diplomacy should turn military strength into political gains, and that Iran would resist military, economic and media pressure from its enemies.
