Tehran is awaiting an official US response to its proposal to reopen the strategic strait of Hormuz and end the ongoing Middle East conflict, as President Donald Trump reportedly rejected the deal. The Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, presented the plan at the UN general assembly in New York, stating that it could be implemented within seven days if the US lifts its naval blockade, waives sanctions on Iranian oil sales, and observes a ceasefire.
The seven-day timeline would begin after the US accepts the plan, with the strait opening on the sixth day and talks with the US starting on the seventh. If the US shows seriousness about reaching a deal and reopening the strait, Iran believes everything is prepared for the negotiations. Saudi Arabia has also engaged with Iran regarding the strait, highlighting the significance of the conflict, which has disrupted oil flows and affected the global economy.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed readiness for talks on Iran's nuclear program and other issues, but emphasized that Iran would not accept bullying or coercion. Previous attempts at diplomacy have failed to resolve the seven-month-old war, which has resulted in thousands of casualties and significant economic disruption.
