CAIRO: Regional mediators are continuing efforts to broker an agreement between the United States and Iran that could help end months of conflict and restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Officials familiar with the discussions told the Associated Press that proposals involve reopening the strategic waterway, sanctions and frozen assets, as well as nuclear inspections and other security conditions.
