Iran Offers Seven-Day Plan to Reopen Strait of Hormuz, Restart US Nuclear Talks

Iran has proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart nuclear negotiations with the United States. The proposal, outlined by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during the UN General Assembly in New York, requires Washington to lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, waive sanctions affecting Iranian oil sales, and agree to a ceasefire covering the region.

Araghchi said the seven-day timeline would begin once Washington accepts the proposal. The initial measures would take around four to five days, with the Strait of Hormuz reopening on the sixth day and nuclear talks between Iran and the US starting on the seventh day.

The proposal comes after an earlier understanding between Washington and Tehran failed to produce a lasting agreement. Iran's latest plan seeks to revive elements of that earlier arrangement but sets a much shorter timetable for reopening the waterway and restarting negotiations.
