Iran offers to end chokehold on Strait of Hormuz and asks US to end blockade, officials say
CAIRO (AP) — Iran is offering to end its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz without addressing its nuclear program, two regional officials with knowledge of the proposal said Monday, as the country’s foreign minister made a visit to Russia he said was an opportunity to consult with Moscow regarding the war against Israel and the United States.
Iran also wants the U.S. to end its blockade of the country as part of its proposal, said the two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door negotiations.
The new proposal, passed to the United States by Pakistan, likely won’t be supported by U.S. President Donald Trump, who wants to end Iran’s atomic program as part of an overall deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and make the ceasefire permanent.

Why is Trump 'allowing' Iran to block the strait?
He and Hegseth both said the military capability of Iran was completely destroyed.
??? Rhetorical question? They lied?
