  "summary": "Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Tehran's new plan to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz has been coordinated with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, according to state media. Pezeshkian told US media and CBS that Iran would fulfill its obligations if the United States agreed to the proposal, which remains deadlocked after nearly seven months. The strait is crucial for the world's oil supply and central to the conflict between the US and Iran. A six-member team with representatives from various organisations, including the military, parliament, and government, has been discussing the plan. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the plan's conditions match those laid out in a memorandum of understanding signed with the US in June, which includes the release of frozen Iranian assets and the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil.",
