On September 24, 2026, FaytuksNetwork shared an Axios report that Iran offered during indirect talks in New York to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if its demands were met within a week. According to that account, U.S. officials rejected the proposal, saying Tehran does not control the strait and questioning its leverage over reopening it. Separately, a post that day quotes Iranian general Mohsen Rezaei warning countries against blocking Iranian commercial flights: “Your airports may not be able to operate flights either.”
