Iran has agreed in principle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the United States’ naval blockade and resolution of issues related to Tehran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, according to a senior US official cited by Reuters. The official said Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has approved the general framework of the proposed agreement. Under the plan, the strait would reopen first, followed by the removal of the blockade.

The US official added that discussions over Iran’s nuclear program are expected to continue for an extended period. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated that the agreement with Iran has not yet been finalized and instructed his representatives not to rush the process. In a social media post, Trump described the talks as constructive but emphasized that both sides should take sufficient time to ensure the deal is completed properly.

The report, sourced from Middle East Eye, indicates ongoing diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tehran, though the final outcome remains uncertain.
