Ready to open Hormuz: Iran
New York: Iran on Tuesday said that it is ready to open the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US eases military pressure and lifts its blockade on Iranian ports, said a senior Iranian official.
He said the Iranian delegation, which is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, has full authority to revive diplomacy with the United States.
"The US needs to announce that it wants to resolve the issue diplomatically, make that official, and then agree on a timeline for how the process will move forward", he said. "The UN General Assembly is a golden opportunity for the US to return to diplomacy", he added.
While speaking to NBC, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US was open to speaking with Iran at the UN General Assembly. He said that although no talks have been scheduled between the two countries, "we're certainly open to something like that, especially if it has the ‌prospects of leading to something positive".
