Tasnim cited an unnamed informed source denying reports of a new Iranian offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the US naval blockade, according to a DPA dispatch published by Shorouk on October 25. The source said Iran’s positions had already been conveyed through mediators. This is an agency’s account of an anonymous denial, not a published negotiating document or a signed foreign-ministry statement. Denial of a new offer also does not establish that earlier initiatives or contacts do not exist. The story concerns a dispute over the reported offer’s description, without claiming access to confidential negotiating terms.
