Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran’s supreme leader backs a new plan aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s state media reports that Pezeshkian coordinates the proposal with supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei. The claim is based on excerpts from an interview Pezeshkian gave to US media, and it is also cited in reporting that includes his remarks to CBS.
Pezeshkian says Iran will meet its obligations toward the United States if the US accepts the proposal and fulfills what it owes under the deal framework. The Strait of Hormuz is a key chokepoint for global oil shipments and remains central to tensions between Iran and the US. Some outlets frame the update as part of an ongoing, still-deadlocked dispute that has continued for months, while repeating that Iran links any movement to reciprocal US actions.
Across the outlets provided, the emphasis is on Iran’s internal backing for the proposal and the conditional nature of Iran’s response—specifically, that Iran will proceed if the US accepts the plan and complies with its commitments.
