American and Iranian negotiators in New York are talking about a phased agreement to end the war

An agreement whereby Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the economic blockade by Washington and possibly the release of Iran's blocked assets.

The main obstacle is that neither side wants to lose their leverage first. Iran is considering abandoning the demand for payment for crossing the strait, but at the same time will maintain administrative control over the strait; An issue facing opposition from the Persian Gulf countries.

A senior Iranian official said that the crisis can be resolved in stages; This is how the process will begin with the end of the blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, negotiators face the challenge of obtaining guarantees that prevent another agreement from collapsing again.
