Iran has presented the United States with a conditional plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within a seven-day period, according to France 24 Arabic, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The move comes as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan held a military meeting in the capital Riyadh, aimed, according to the report, at strengthening joint defense coordination among the three countries amid the region's ongoing escalation.
The defense meeting coincides with an escalation on the ground in Yemen, in addition to the UN Security Council's condemnation of Houthi group attacks on Saudi Arabia, according to the original report.
The official American response to the Iranian offer regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the vital waterway through which a large share of global oil exports passes, has not yet become clear, while the sources did not disclose further details about the precise terms of the proposed plan.
Regional and international parties are closely monitoring any developments that could affect freedom of navigation in the strait, given its strategic importance to global energy supplies.
