By Nkiruka Nnorom with agency report

There’s an indication that Tehran would restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month in a framework deal with the U.S that would see Washington withdraw its forces from Iran’s vicinity, Iranian state TV has reported.

The state TV report was the latest signal of possible progress towards a deal, although publicly Tehran and Washington have outlined positions starkly at odds and the potential terms outlined by the broadcaster did not appease all U.S demands.
