The timing of Iran's reopening of the Strait of Hormuz has been revealed.

TPO - The Nikkei newspaper, citing several Middle Eastern diplomatic sources, reported that the US and Iran are discussing a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approximately 30 days after the two countries reached an agreement to end hostilities.

According to Nikkei , Iran will begin clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz within about 30 days of reaching an agreement.

Subsequently, ships from all countries will be able to travel freely and safely through the strait. Iran will cease collecting transit fees.

The Nikkei newspaper further reported that the ceasefire agreement reached between the US and Iran in early April will be extended for another 60 days. Negotiations on Iran's nuclear program are expected to be held during this truce.

Earlier on May 25, an Iranian delegation arrived in Doha to discuss with Qatari authorities a potential agreement with the US to end the three-month-long war.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei previously stated that nuclear issues would only be negotiated if a framework agreement were signed beforehand.

The discussions focused primarily on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. The governor of Iran's central bank also joined the delegation to discuss the possibility of releasing frozen Iranian funds as part of the final agreement.

As efforts to reach an agreement continued, Iran said it had shot down a "hostile" stealth drone with its new air defense system, Iranian news agencies reported, without specifying the drone's origin.

"This is a sign from us that no stealth drones can penetrate the skies over the Persian Gulf anymore," Fars news agency quoted unnamed officials as saying.

In a move that further complicates the negotiation process, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on May 25 that Israel would intensify its attacks against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement in Lebanon.

Shortly afterward, the Israeli military announced it was attacking Hezbollah infrastructure in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon and other areas.

Israel and Lebanon reached a ceasefire agreement in mid-April, but Israel continued its airstrikes, which it claimed were in self-defense, against Hezbollah.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the reopening of international internet access, Iranian state media reported on May 25, citing an official, after nearly 90 days of Iran being disconnected from the internet due to the war with the United States and Israel.
