According to Nikkei, Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz 30 days after signing a deal with the United States to formally end hostilities.
Under the reported plan, the ceasefire agreed in early April would be extended by another 60 days, creating a two-month window for negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. During that period, Tehran would begin clearing mines and restoring safe navigation conditions across the Strait of Hormuz.
The report says Iran would complete demining operations within 30 days after the agreement is signed. Once the process is finished, vessels from all countries would be able to transit the strategic waterway freely and securely, while Iran would also stop charging transit fees on shipping traffic.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, handling a significant share of global crude oil and LNG exports.
