Iran’s proposal would reopen the strategic waterway, a vital route for global energy shipments, while pausing wider regional hostilities. Reuters reported that Trump told aides he expected bombing to resume after November’s congressional elections, citing unnamed U.S. officials; Iran was awaiting an official U.S. response. The report emerged during a tense UN General Assembly week dominated by wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Details remain based partly on anonymous-source reporting, and the operational status of the Strait and any subsequent diplomatic communications may change rapidly.
