Iran announced Tuesday it intends to establish a 'hotline' in the Strait of Hormuz to 'prevent and resolve any misunderstanding' with the United States or other countries, according to a statement from Iranian officials. The proposal comes amid the ongoing Iranian blockade of the strait, which Tehran imposed earlier this month. On Monday, the US and Iran agreed to set up direct communications to help keep the strait open and sustain the Lebanon ceasefire, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, as The Zioneer reported. Tuesday's Iranian proposal appears to elaborate on that framework, though it is not yet clear whether the 'hotline' is a new initiative or part of the communications channels agreed upon the day before. The status of the hotline's implementation and whether it would be a military or diplomatic line were not specified.
