Iran offers 7-day Hormuz reopening deal, demands US concessions before midterms
Iran has proposed a seven-day timetable to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks, contingent on US concessions including lifting asset freezes and reining in Israel in Lebanon. The deal, if accepted, would relieve global energy market pressure but requires Trump to make politically difficult choices before the US midterms. The proposal's viability is uncertain, as it hinges on US willingness to meet Iran's terms.
