Iran Proposes Seven-Day Plan to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Pending US Acceptance
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated Tehran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, contingent on the United States meeting seven conditions including lifting sanctions, ending hostilities, and removing the naval blockade. The plan involves reopening shipping on day six and resuming talks on day seven. Araghchi emphasized Iran's refusal to accept coercion while expressing readiness for dialogue based on mutual respect and credible guarantees. Negotiations have stalled due to disagreements over these conditions, particularly US demands related to Iran's nuclear program.
