Iran proposes seven-day plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz

The Strait of Hormuz links the Persian Gulf with global shipping lanes and carries a substantial share of internationally traded oil. Reports indicate that Iran is seeking an agreement under which the waterway would reopen within seven days, while Tehran maintains that it will not concede on its nuclear program. The proposal comes alongside heightened tensions involving Iran, the United States, Yemen’s Houthi movement and Gulf states, including reported attacks affecting regional security. Available coverage does not establish whether a formal agreement has been reached, so the development remains a diplomatic proposal rather than a confirmed de-escalation.
