Iran Sends Terms to Washington via Mediator for Strait of Hormuz Reopening

Tehran. Iran's chief negotiator said on Sunday that Tehran had sent its terms to Washington via a mediator to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iran has maintained control over this waterway throughout the Middle East war.

The United States and Iran have been in a stalemate for months in the Middle East conflict that began with US-Israeli attacks in late February. Tehran has since maintained tight control over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital transport route for the world's oil and gas, while Washington has waged a campaign to affect Iranian ports and economy.
