The US and Iran are ‌discussing a plan to open the Strait of Hormuz about 30 ​days after the two ​countries reach a deal to ⁠end hostilities, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Monday, citing a ​Middle East diplomatic source.

Iran would proceed to clear mines from the ​strait during a 30-day window ​following an agreement, after which ships ‌from ⁠all countries would be able to navigate freely and safely, and Iran would stop collecting ​transit ​fees, Nikkei ⁠said.

The ceasefire agreed in early April would ​be extended for 60 ​days, ⁠with the plan to hold talks on Iran’s nuclear programme ⁠during ​the two-month pause, ​the report added.
