Insider: Iran Considering Halting Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to Avoid Disruption and Diplomacy

Jin10 Data, April 14 — According to a person familiar with internal discussions in Tehran, Iran is considering temporarily suspending its shipping activities in the Strait of Hormuz to avoid challenging the U.S. naval blockade and disrupting a new round of peace negotiations.
Sources say this potential pause reflects Iran’s desire to prevent an immediate escalation of tensions during the logistical preparations for Washington and Tehran to arrange their next face-to-face talks.
They indicate that a few days’ suspension of maritime activities is seen as a practical measure to prevent incidents that could undermine fragile efforts to resume negotiations.
They also note that Iran’s considerations are still evolving.
For example, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps might quickly change tactics to demonstrate that U.S. sanctions can be challenged without consequences, which could potentially derail diplomatic efforts.
