Iran offers new terms to reopen Strait of Hormuz, Axios reports

April 27, Al Jazeera - The US news outlet, citing a US official and two sources with knowledge of the matter, says Iran has offered Washington a new proposal for reaching a deal on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the ending of the war, “with nuclear negotiations postponed for a later stage”.

Iran made the offer through Pakistani mediators, Axios reported.

But reaching a deal on the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the US blockade on Iranian ports will leave Trump “with no real leverage in order to get Tehran to give up on its stockpile of enriched uranium, and commit to a suspension of uranium enrichment for at least a decade”, the outlet said.
