Iran offers seven-day plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Iran has presented the United States with a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if Washington agrees to Tehran's conditions, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The proposal, conveyed through Qatar after talks with US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, includes a cessation of hostilities in West Asia, release of frozen Iranian assets, lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil, and an end to the US naval blockade of Iran.

If the necessary conditions are met, the strait could be reopened and maritime transit restored within seven days. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed Tehran's interest in resuming talks on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) agreed with the United States in June, welcoming China's call for the MoU to be revived. However, diplomatic efforts to end the conflict in West Asia have remained deadlocked for months, with the June agreement intended to pave the way for a comprehensive peace deal but collapsing soon after.
