Iran may reopen Strait of Hormuz on April 9 if deal with U.S. is reached

A senior Iranian official has stated that Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz as early as April 9 or 10, a media outlet reported. The move is contingent on reaching a basic ceasefire agreement with the U.S. ahead of talks scheduled to take place in Pakistan. The official added, however, that any reopening of the shipping lane would be limited under the current circumstances. He also noted that consultation with the Iranian military is necessary and that all vessels would still require permission to pass.
