(Reuters) - The U.S. and Iran are discussing a plan to open the Strait of Hormuz about 30 days after the two countries reach a deal to ⁠end hostilities, the Nikkei newspaper reported citing a Middle East diplomatic source.

Iran would proceed to clear mines from the strait during a 30-day window following an agreement, after which ships from ⁠all countries would be able to navigate freely and safely, and Iran would stop collecting transit fees, Nikkei ⁠said.

The ceasefire agreed in early April would be extended for 60 days, ⁠with the plan to hold talks on Iran's nuclear program ⁠during the two-month pause, the report added.
