The US has removed its naval blockade against Iran, prompting the country's supreme leader to openly support direct discussions with American representatives. This development represents a major turning point in the ongoing conflict that has persisted since February. The blockade had been enforced since April as part of a larger strategy related to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. According to US officials, this decision is a gesture of goodwill linked to a new ceasefire agreement. However, experts warn that a public endorsement for dialogue does not ensure that negotiations will proceed smoothly, given the numerous unresolved matters such as uranium reserves and troop deployments in the region. US legislators are now closely monitoring the initial official meeting between both parties.
