The U.S. is reportedly pushing a new diplomatic proposal linking the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to renewed nuclear talks with Iran, even as military tensions remain high across the Gulf. According to the Associated Press, the plan includes reopening the vital oil chokepoint, halting regional attacks, and restarting negotiations between Washington and Tehran. The report also highlights multiple occasions when President Donald Trump delayed or suspended planned military strikes on Iran, underscoring the renewed diplomatic effort amid fears of a wider Middle East conflict.
