Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran’s new proposal to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz has been coordinated with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, according to an interview broadcast by US media and reported by Iranian state news agencies. He indicated that Iran would meet its commitments if the United States agrees to the plan and fulfills its corresponding obligations.

The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments, has been a focal point of tensions between Iran and the United States for several months. The two countries have remained at an impasse for nearly seven months amid ongoing diplomatic and security challenges in the region.

Pezeshkian said that discussions regarding the reopening plan are being conducted by a six-member team in Iran, which possesses decision-making authority. “Coordination with the leader of the revolution (the supreme leader) has been carried out,” Pezeshkian remarked in the interview, emphasizing that Iran's commitment would depend on reciprocal actions by the US.

While the precise details of the proposal have not been publicly disclosed, the move suggests a potential avenue to reduce friction over the strait, which serves as a strategic chokepoint for a significant portion of the world’s oil supply. There has been no immediate response from US officials on the proposal.

The announcement comes amid broader regional tensions and ongoing disputes over Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions, and maritime security. Analysts note that an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz could signal a shift toward de-escalation, but many hurdles remain given the entrenched positions of both Tehran and Washington.
