Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic supports a new Iranian proposal aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the vital waterway for Gulf oil exports.
Reports indicated that US President Donald Trump has rejected this proposal, although further details about the nature of the rejection or its specific reasons have yet to emerge.
In response, a US official told the BBC, when asked about the Iranian proposal, that "constructive discussions" are currently taking place through intermediaries between the two sides — a signal that indirect communication channels between Tehran and Washington on this file remain open.
This development comes in the context of ongoing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical maritime energy chokepoints, whose future and governance remain a sensitive axis in relations between Iran and international powers.
