This is part of the proposals that Tehran made in negotiations with the US, if the two sides reach an agreement to prevent the conflict from escalating again, according to a well-informed source.
The US-Israel conflict with Iran has caused the largest disruption ever to global oil and gas supplies. Iran has blocked transportation through the Strait of Hormuz - a route that transports about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas flow.
Hundreds of oil tankers and other ships, along with about 20,000 crew members, have been trapped in the Gulf area since the Iranian conflict broke out on February 28.
An unnamed source said that Iran may allow ships to use the rest of the strait, located in Oman waters, without Tehran's obstruction.
However, the source did not say whether Iran would agree to clear the naval mines deployed in this area, nor is it clear whether all ships, including those linked to Israel, are allowed to pass freely.
The source also emphasized that this proposal depends on whether Washington is willing to respond to Tehran's requests or not. This is a key factor for any breakthrough related to the Strait of Hormuz.
