Iran would open Strait of Hormuz 30 days after peace deal, Nikkei reports citing source
Iran would clear mines and halt transit fees before ships can pass freely, while a 60-day ceasefire extension would allow nuclear talks, Nikkei reported.
- On Monday, Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported the United States and Iran are discussing a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz about 30 days after reaching a deal to end hostilities, with Iran clearing mines and halting transit fees.
- Tehran closed the strategic waterway after U.S.-Israeli attacks began February 28, trapping thousands of ships in the Gulf and prompting Trump's Sunday announcement that the two sides had "largely negotiated" a peace deal.
- Under the plan, Iran would clear mines during the 30-day post-agreement window, enabling ships from all countries to navigate freely and safely, while a 60-day ceasefire extension would allow talks on Iran's nuclear program.
- President Trump cautioned against rushing the deal on Sunday, writing on Truth Social that the U.S. blockade would "remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed," while Tasnim news agency, linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, disputed U.S. commitment over frozen funds.
- Multiple obstacles remain unresolved, including Iran's nuclear ambitions, Israel's war in Lebanon with Iranian-backed Hezbollah, and Tehran's demands for lifting sanctions and releasing tens of billions in frozen oil revenues, as Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority asserted control on Wednesday.

A fifth of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Since February, barely a fraction of normal shipping has passed through. Here is what the reported US-Iran 30-day reopening plan would mean for global energy markets
The date will count to the time of the U.S. deal.
Although the U.S. and Iran have begun negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the international shipping and energy industries view the strait's reopening and the normalization of supply as separate issues, and the Financial Times (FT) and the New York Times (NYT) reported on the 25th that "global crude oil supply is expected to return to pre-war levels no earlier than September."
