Iran has reportedly proposed a strategic bargain to the United States, offering to restore access to the critical Strait of Hormuz in exchange for concessions to de-escalate ongoing hostilities.
According to multiple international reports, Tehran signaled its readiness to relinquish control over the vital maritime corridor if Washington agrees to lift its naval blockade and halt military operations in the region.
The proposal, said to have been conveyed through diplomatic intermediaries, also includes a request to defer negotiations surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme, an issue widely seen as central to the current standoff.
The Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy supply, facilitates the transit of nearly 20 percent of the world’s oil.
Its disruption in recent weeks has already rattled international markets, contributing to price volatility and supply concerns.

Analysts say the offer may reflect Iran’s effort to relieve mounting economic strain while preserving leverage in broader negotiations.
The latest development highlights a narrow and fragile diplomatic opening in which energy security, geopolitical rivalry, and military calculations converge, leaving the global economy closely watching the outcome of an uncertain negotiation process.
