Iran is 'ready to reopen Hormuz' if the US moves first, says an Iranian official; Trump 'asked to arrange a meeting', says Ynet

Both governments talked about talks on Tuesday, as Trump and Pezeshkian headed to the UN in New York. The nine reports we hold do not agree on who moved first, or on what terms.

Levant & Iran Iran United States

The opening. Reuters, carried by Al-Monitor, says Iran and the United States "hinted" on Tuesday at reviving negotiations. It is the only report we hold that says both sides moved.

Who is asking whom. The other reports split.

Outlet Who moves What it says
The Jerusalem Post, Asharq Al-Awsat Iran, if the US acts first Iran is "ready to reopen" Hormuz if the US eases military pressure and lifts its blockade
Arutz Sheva US Rubio: Trump "is open to meeting with the Iranians"
Shargh US Rubio "claimed" the US is ready to meet Iran's delegation
Ynet Both an "Iranian signal"; Trump "asked to arrange a meeting"

The sourcing. Iran's offer rests on one Iranian official. Neither report that carries it names the official. Rubio is named and on the record. Shargh uses "claimed" for Rubio. The Jerusalem Post calls his line on the bomb an "assertion".

The Iranian parliament. Deputy speaker Ali Nikzad told Shargh that talks are now tied to the strait. He said Iran "will not back down" on it and that "it is America that broke its word". Shargh carries no US reply.

Not settled. - Whether Iran's Hormuz offer is policy. It comes from one unnamed official. - Whether the US wants the "Islamabad memorandum" changed. Only Shargh reports it, citing the Emirati site Erem News. - Whether a meeting is booked. No report says so.

What this is about. Whether the United States and Iran, at war since February, will start talking again during the UN General Assembly in New York.

How it got here. The US and Iran have had no diplomatic relations since the 1979 revolution and the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran. Their long quarrel since then has centred on Iran's nuclear programme. A 2015 deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, limited that programme in return for lifting sanctions. Trump pulled the US out of it in 2018, in his first term. After the Hamas-led attacks on Israel of 7 October 2023 and the war in Gaza, Israel and Iran moved from a shadow conflict to open strikes. In June 2025 Israel bombed Iran and the US struck Iranian nuclear sites. In February 2026, Reuters reports, Trump launched "Operation Epic Fury" against Iran, alongside Israel.

The strait. The Strait of Hormuz is the narrow sea lane between Iran and Oman at the mouth of the Gulf. Tankers from the Gulf producers pass through it. Speaking to Shargh, Iran's deputy speaker put its share of world oil at 25 per cent. The reports say Iran wants a US blockade lifted and ties any talks to the strait.

The actors. Donald Trump is US president, and Marco Rubio is his secretary of state. Masoud Pezeshkian has been Iran's president since 2024. Under Iran's system, the Supreme Leader has the final word on war and foreign policy. Iran's parliament speaks separately from the government. Israel is fighting alongside the US.

What is at stake. Talks could reopen the strait and wind the war down. Without them, Iran's deputy speaker says, fuel and oil prices will stay high.

Where it stands. Trump and Pezeshkian are both due at the General Assembly this week. The reports say both sides are open to meeting. None says a meeting has been set.

The bias in this coverageBias

Who moved first depends on the report

Two reports frame the opening as Iran's offer, on the condition that the US acts first. Two carry Rubio saying the US is ready to meet, and one says Trump asked for a meeting. Only one report says both sides hinted at talks.

2 reports with Iran's offer conditional on US steps 2 reports carrying Rubio's openness 1 reports saying both sides hinted

Claims without a reply

One report calls Rubio's statement a claim. Another carries an Iranian official blaming the US, with no US response. The Iranian terms come from an unnamed official, and the US demand for changes comes second-hand.

1 reports with an unnamed source 1 reports relying on another outlet
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

Claims and verdicts

unverified Iran is ready to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the US eases military pressure and lifts its blockade.
The Jerusalem Post and Asharq Al-Awsat carry the same headline, and both rest on a single unnamed Iranian official, so they count as one account. In Shargh, deputy speaker Ali Nikzad says Iran will not back down on the strait and that talks are now tied to it, which neither confirms nor contradicts the offer.
