  "summary": "Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to maritime navigation. The plan was conveyed to the US through Qatar after Araghchi held talks with US President Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff. According to Malay Mail and The Vibes, the plan involves a cessation of all hostilities in the Middle East for seven days, including in Lebanon, the release of frozen Iranian assets estimated to be worth at least $12 billion, the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil, and an end to the US naval blockade of Iran.\n\nIf the conditions are met, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz on the seventh day. Araghchi stated that \"if there is seriousness in the US side to come to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now prepared.\" He also emphasized that Iran does not accept coercion, threats, or intimidation and will not surrender its sovereign rights under pressure.\n\nThe proposal is now awaiting a response from the US, with Araghchi saying \"the choice now rests with the United States.\"",
