Former US President Donald Trump says he is seeking a "grand bargain" with Iran if re-elected. This could restart major peace talks.
His comments come as more than 20 commercial ships have reportedly crossed the Strait of Hormuz. This key waterway was under a US-led naval blockade.
The blockade was meant to pressure Iran. The large number of ship transits suggests it is not fully effective.
Analysts say Trump’s proposed bargain would be a broad deal. It would aim to settle long-standing conflicts over Iran's nuclear program and regional influence.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions. Global energy markets watch the Strait closely, as a major channel for the world's oil shipments.
