Iranian Foreign Minister Alagzi told the media during the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly on September 24 that Iran has submitted a new draft negotiation to the US to “re-open” the Strait of Hormuz and restart negotiations. Another person familiar with the matter told Reuters that US and Iran negotiators are discussing a phased agreement in New York, which includes Iran “reopening” the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US lifting the economic blockade against Iraq. Alagzi declined to disclose the details of the draft, but only stated that the terms of the negotiations were nothing more than those in the memorandum of understanding reached between the two sides in June.
