Iran Proposes 7-Day Plan to Reopen Strait of Hormuz; US Rejects Offer
Iran has proposed a seven-day plan to the United States to reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, halt hostilities including in Lebanon, and resume nuclear talks. The plan requires the US to lift its naval blockade, waive sanctions on Iranian oil, and release frozen Iranian assets. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi conveyed the proposal through Qatari mediators at the UN. US President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected the offer, expressing skepticism about Iran meeting demands and indicating possible resumption of bombing after the November midterms. Qatar has called for diplomacy amid the challenging situation.
