Iran has since signaled a shift toward reopening the strait, saying it is preparing to draft conditions for doing so following requests from international mediators
Attributed to Al Jazeera
Multiple independent outlets corroborate this claim, matching it almost verbatim. Al Jazeera's own article "Iran says it will name its terms for reopening Strait of Hormuz" reports that Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said mediators had asked Tehran to set out conditions for reopening the strait, including an end to the regional war. Reuters (via Al-Monitor and Yahoo News) reported the identical development, citing Rezaei's comments made through an interpreter in an Al Manar TV interview. RTE and AOL (also republishing Reuters wire copy) confirm the same details, including Qatar's prime minister visiting Tehran to press for reopening the strait as part of mediation efforts. Investinglive.com also covered Rezaei's remarks, adding context about an Iran-Oman shipping corridor agreement. All sources align on the core facts: Iran is drafting conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz following requests from international mediators (Qatar, Oman, Pakistan).
