The Iranian official said that if an understanding on a framework for talks is reached, the critical waterway could be opened in a limited way.

Iran could open the Strait of Hormuz in a limited and controlled way on Thursday or Friday ahead of a meeting between US and Iranian officials in Pakistan, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday.

The Iranian official said that if an understanding on a framework for talks is reached, the critical waterway could be opened in a limited way “under Iran’s control".

“Coordinating with Iranian military will be mandatory for all ships. Still the ceasefire is fragile, however, we prefer lasting peace but Iran has no fear to return to war if the US wants go the same way," the official added.
