Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran has presented the United States with what he described as a concrete plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, placing the next step with Washington.
Speaking to reporters at the United Nations on September 25, Araqchi said normal maritime passage could resume within a week if Iran's conditions were met, according to Reuters. He did not publicly set out the full terms of the proposal.
Diplomacy at the United Nations
The comments came as US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed the Middle East conflict at a summit, Reuters reported. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for global oil flows, and concerns over maritime security there have drawn attention from governments and energy markets.
Iran's proposal is not an agreement. Any reopening would depend on the response from the United States and on whether the stated conditions can be met. The public reporting did not establish a timetable for formal negotiations or a confirmed implementation mechanism.
