An Iranian delegation has been fully authorized to negotiate the resumption of diplomatic engagement with the United States through mediators in New York. Tehran stated it welcomes renewed talks if Washington takes concrete action, with specific agreement details regarding an end to hostilities now open for discussion. Iran indicated it could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US eases military pressure and lifts the port blockade. This proposal was conveyed to American counterparts through mediators on September 16 as part of efforts to de-escalate tensions.
