The proposal
Iran said intensive indirect talks with the United States are underway through mediators and offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on a faster timeline if its conditions are met, Khaleej Times reported. The Boston Globe summarized Iran's two-day plan to reopen the strait and resume nuclear talks if terms are accepted. Al Jazeera reported Tehran signaling a deal remains possible if its demands are implemented, while both sides stay ready for renewed escalation.
Where talks stand
An official briefed on the talks said Iranian negotiators left Qatar on Sunday and that a draft proposal is circulating, with a follow-up meeting possible, New York Post and Los Angeles Times reported. Oil prices fell more than 6 percent Monday on hopes around the diplomacy, Khaleej Times said.
What both sides are saying
Iranian officials present the shorter Hormuz timeline as flexibility; U.S. and regional coverage stresses that no agreement is confirmed and that positions remain far apart, including National Review and The Guardian.
