Iran Submits Seven-Day Plan to US for Reopening Strait of Hormuz
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, submitted to the US during indirect talks in New York.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated at UN headquarters that Iran has submitted a concrete plan to the United States for reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. According to Araghchi, the ball is now in Washington's court.
The Seven-Day Plan
Araghchi clarified that the seven-day countdown will begin only after the United States approves the plan. The measures required from Washington are reportedly not new and already appear in existing understandings between the countries.
"If they accept this seven-day plan, by the end of the seven days the Strait of Hormuz will be open," the Iranian Foreign Minister said.
He added that once the strait is reopened, discussions regarding the nuclear program could resume. He also dismissed claims that Iran is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons, calling it a false narrative.
Indirect Negotiations in New York
Washington and Tehran recently held their first round of indirect negotiations in three months in New York. US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff operated from one room, while Araghchi occupied another, with Qatari mediators shuttling between them.
During the talks, the US dismissed the Iranian demands, questioning Tehran's actual control and influence over the strategic maritime route.
