Iran offers to reopen Hormuz in 7 days if US eases military pressure

Iran has reportedly proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US takes initial steps to reduce military pressure, with the offer conveyed to Washington via mediators, per Kyodo News. The claim is unverified and lacks detail on what specific US actions are required, leaving the proposal's viability uncertain. If genuine, this marks a potential de-escalation in a key chokepoint for global oil flows, though prior Iranian threats to close the strait have not materialized.
