[Iran Proposes 'Limited Strait Navigation' Negotiation Plan, Uncertainty Remains in U.S.-Iran Game] BlockBeats News, April 16 — On Wednesday local time, U.S. White House Press Secretary Levitt told reporters that reports claiming the White House had requested an extension of the Iran war ceasefire agreement are not accurate. She stated that communication with Iran regarding the second round of negotiations has been 'productive,' and the related talks are likely to be held again in Pakistan. According to Reuters, a source familiar with Tehran's stance said that if an agreement can be reached to avoid the resurgence of conflict, Iran may consider allowing ships to freely navigate the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz without facing the risk of attacks. This idea has been included in its negotiation proposal. Iran will continue to maintain control over its waters in the Strait of Hormuz, while Oman will independently decide on matters concerning its side of the waters. The source did not clarify whether Iran would agree to remove any mines it may have placed in the waters or whether all ships (including those associated with Israel) would be allowed free passage. The source added that this proposal hinges on whether Washington is prepared to meet Tehran's demands, which is a key condition for any breakthrough on the Strait of Hormuz issue. On April 15 local time, the majority of U.S. senators expressed support for President Trump's military actions against Iran. The Senate voted 52 to 47 to reject a resolution led by Democrats. The resolution aimed to prevent war unless hostile actions received congressional authorization.
