Iran state TV says draft U.S. deal could reopen Strait of Hormuz traffic

Iran’s state television said on Wednesday (27) that Tehran had obtained an initial, unofficial draft of a memorandum of understanding with the United States that could include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the broadcaster’s proposal, Iran would restore commercial traffic through the strait to pre-war levels within one month. In return, the U.S. would withdraw military forces from areas near Iranian territory and suspend the naval blockade imposed on the region.

Iranian state TV also reported that military vessels would not be included in the draft and that, if a final agreement is reached within 60 days, the understanding would be approved as a binding resolution by the United Nations Security Council.

Despite the announcement, the information has not yet been officially confirmed. The broadcaster itself stressed that the text — which предусматриes Iran managing ship traffic through the strait in cooperation with Oman — has not been finalized and that Tehran will not take any action without “tangible verification.”

The news comes at a delicate moment in negotiations between Washington and Tehran. U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet with his cabinet at the White House on Wednesday, just days after stating that he had “practically negotiated” an agreement with Iran. Despite the optimistic tone, talks remain surrounded by uncertainty and mutual distrust after months of clashes and military tensions in the region.
