Israeli media: Iran appears to have abandoned its demand for tolls in the Strait of Hormuz.

Qatar’s prime minister is set to meet Trump in Washington on Monday with an Iran-approved plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to Israeli media, in a sign of accelerating mediation toward a new interim U.S.-Iran deal. Under the proposal, the U.S. would lift its maritime and economic blockade while Iran would halt attacks on Gulf-state vessels and tankers, and $8 billion of Iranian funds held in Qatar would be unfrozen. Iran appears to have dropped its demand to control the strait and charge transit fees on passing ships. The shift matters because the strait carries a large share of global seaborne oil, so any reopening would ease shipping and energy-supply risk. The next test is Monday’s meeting and whether Tehran, which still refuses to discuss its nuclear program, will formalize the arrangement.
