[US and Iran Consider $8 Billion Deal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz] BlockBeats reports on November 9th, citing Israeli media Israel Hayom, that the US and Iran are considering an $8 billion deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump is expected to meet with the Qatari Prime Minister on Monday to discuss Iran's proposal: the US would unfreeze $8 billion in exchange for the strait's reopening. The report states that the agreement would end Iranian attacks on Gulf shipping and lift related US restrictions, but would not involve Iran's nuclear program. Vice President Vance is reportedly pushing for an agreement, but has faced opposition from some senior government officials.
