Iran links Hormuz reopening to blockade lift and end of war, postponing nuclear talks

Iran reportedly offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. lifts its blockade and ends the war, while proposing to delay negotiations on its nuclear program; Trump canceled a Pakistan meeting with Kushner and Witkoff, and Rubio dismissed the proposal as unsustainable, arguing the strait is an international waterway not subject to Iranian control. A ceasefire remains in place but Hormuz remains a strategic, tense flashpoint as U.S. naval actions continue.
