Iran ties proposed Hormuz reopening within two days to US steps

Asharq News reported that Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Tehran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within two days, conditional on the United States lifting its blockade and halting military operations on multiple fronts before any talks. The proposal is not an agreement, and the strait has not reopened. The report also presents differing accounts of negotiations: Iranian officials say talks are not under way and Tehran is awaiting a clear US response, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran wants an agreement but rejects its conditions.
