A ceasefire mediated by Pakistan is still in place between Iran and the United States.
US President Donald Trump has recently concluded his visit to China.
Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping had agreed Tehran must reopen the Strait of Hormuz, though China gave no indication it would weigh in.
Trump said he was considering whether to lift US sanctions on Chinese oil companies buying Iranian oil. China is the biggest buyer of Iranian oil.
“I am not asking for any favours because when you ask for favours, you have to do favours in return,” Trump said.
Ebrahim Azizi, who heads the Iranian parliament’s national security committee, had said that Tehran had prepared a mechanism to manage traffic through the strait along a designated route that would be unveiled soon.
