Iran floats Hormuz-first deal, delays nuclear diplomacy

Iran proposes a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war with the United States, with nuclear negotiations postponed to a later stage. The plan would prioritize lifting the blockade and a ceasefire now, while nuclear talks would resume afterward, reflecting internal Tehran debates and ongoing mediation efforts; Washington weighs the proposal as Trump presses to maintain pressure through naval blockade and insists any deal must prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
