Iran has communicated conditions to the US through a Qatari mediator to end the seven-month war, including halting US military actions, lifting the naval blockade, and releasing Iranian assets. The proposal aims to restore oil and gas traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route, which has been severely disrupted by the conflict and US blockade. President Trump indicated optimism for a deal after the US midterm elections, though tensions remain high. Oil exports from Iran have stopped, and shipping through the strait remains well below pre-war levels, impacting global oil markets and prices.
Iran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz come amid a mixed performance in the Energy sector on Pluang, where 17 of 38 US energy stocks rose and 19 fell as of Sep 23, 2026, 13:01 WIB.
