Iran proposes seven-day plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran’s proposal would reopen the waterway and resume nuclear talks, but Iranian officials reportedly warned that the strait would remain closed until Washington meets all of Iran’s conditions. The development has broader global significance because the Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for energy shipments, while the surrounding crisis is also involving Israel, Lebanon, Yemen and Gulf states. Reporting indicates that Israel-Iran tensions dominated the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli operations continued in southern Lebanon and Syria, and diplomatic efforts were underway in Riyadh. The available reports describe an active and rapidly evolving confrontation, but do not establish that the proposal has been accepted by the United States.
