Iranian officials cite progress in talks over the vital shipping route while also preparing for all-out war.
Iran says it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days as part of a deal with the United States. Iranian officials cited some progress in negotiations over reopening the vital oil and gas shipping lane.
However, the officials also said they were preparing for all-out war as negotiations continued. Their account combined signs of movement in the talks with preparations for a wider conflict.
The proposed two-day reopening would form part of an agreement with Washington, rather than a standalone commitment by Tehran.
