US, Iran May Resume Strait of Hormuz Passage in Phases

TechFlow reported that on September 25, according to jin10 data, representatives of the United States and Iran held secret discussions during the UN General Assembly regarding "reopening the strait in exchange for lifting sanctions." As the US midterm elections approach, rising expectations for crude oil market supply and mounting global inflation pressures have formed the critical backdrop driving negotiations between the two sides.

In this context, the US and Iran are attempting to identify viable pathways toward a phased de-escalation and easing of tensions within the existing maximum pressure policy framework. The progress of these contacts will directly impact navigational security in the Strait of Hormuz and the stability of the international crude oil supply chain.
