Sources involved in the US-Iran negotiations report that the concessions offered by the Trump administration are 'far-reaching' and that American officials have expressed a de facto willingness to pay Iran for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by The Zioneer.
The Zioneer reported at 17:43 that Israel Hayom's Ariel Kahana cited sources saying the Trump administration is willing to pay Iran for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. A new report from the same sources now characterizes the US concessions as 'far-reaching' (מפליגים), further indicating the extent of Washington's flexibility in the negotiations. The report also reiterates the de facto willingness to pay, which would mark a departure from international norms of free passage. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, and the talks have been a subject of intense diplomatic activity. The Zioneer's previous coverage of the Hormuz negotiations has documented the evolution of the US position, including the Trump ultimatum and the leaked MOU. The current report underscores the ongoing friction between the public US stance against tolls and the reported willingness to offer payments.
