Iran is considering allowing European nations to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, Bloomberg #45

Iran is considering allowing European nations to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, Bloomberg reports Iran signals willingness to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but conditions any move on collecting transit fees, security guarantees against future attacks, an end to the U.S. naval blockade, and relief from U.S. oil sanctions. The United States and Gulf states have rejected the fee demand, insisting Iran must first fully reopen the waterway and ensure the safety of shipping and regional security before any sanctions relief or other concessions are considered.
