Iran War: Iran Sees US at a Move if Strait of Hormuz is Opened
Iran is holding out the prospect of opening the Strait of Hormuz and talks with the US. According to Tehran, the ball is now in Washington's court.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi said in New York that Tehran has sent a seven-day plan to the US via Qatar to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The plan requires the US to fulfill certain commitments outlined in a June agreement, which Araghtschi believes can be implemented within four or five days. The US has responded that they are engaged in positive and constructive talks with Iran, but President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected the plan, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Trump has threatened massive attacks on Iran and has published a map of the Strait of Hormuz on his platform, labeling it the "Trump-Meerenge". The Iranian government hopes that acceptance of the plan would lead to talks on a final agreement, including Iran's disputed nuclear program.
