Iran Awaits Final US Response on Seven-Day Plan to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
Iran awaits a final US response on its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for seven days, despite Trump's public rejection.
Iran is waiting for the United States to formally respond to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a move that President Donald Trump has publicly dismissed. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi informed Iranian media that Tehran conveyed its plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for a seven-day period through intermediaries.
However, Araghchi stated that they have not received a final position from the US via intermediaries. Araghchi emphasized that they will decide based on the US' final response. He also noted that progress in reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on the US' willingness to meet Iran's conditions.
In mid-June, the US and Iran signed a memorandum aimed at initiating a peace agreement. Yet, tensions flared up again three weeks later when Washington accused Tehran of firing on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Following this, both sides resumed attacks against each other. Currently, shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has come to a halt.
