The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States has offered Iran the unfreezing of funds in exchange for the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without the collection of insurance fees. The report cites unnamed sources familiar with the proposal. This follows a series of reports over recent weeks about a broader emerging U.S.-Iran understanding, including leaked memoranda indicating potential sanctions relief and a reconstruction fund in exchange for Iranian commitments on the strait and nuclear program (as The Zioneer reported on June 16 and June 17). Iran's position on this specific offer has not been made public, and it remains unclear whether the proposal is part of the broader memorandum or a separate track. The Israeli defense establishment has not issued an official response.
