Multiple reports say Iran and the United States are discussing ways to reopen maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz after President Donald Trump called off strikes planned against Iran. Bloomberg reports that Iran indicates talks are underway and that efforts to increase the number of ships transiting the strait are making progress following Trump’s decision to halt what he described as a major attack. The New York Post reports Iran’s negotiators signaled they could allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen before Trump called off the strikes, citing accounts of back-and-forth communications. At the same time, the New York Post says the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is denying that any deal has been reached. The two accounts broadly align on the existence of ongoing discussions related to Hormuz shipping and the timing around Trump’s stated decision to call off attacks, but they differ in emphasis—one focusing on talks making progress and the other on claims about when Iran would allow reopening and IRGC denials. No source in the provided material confirms a finalized agreement or details its terms.
