Iran Says New Proposal Would Reopen Strait of Hormuz Within Seven Days
The proposal seeks U.S. steps to ease military pressure and negotiations aimed at a permanent end to hostilities.
Iran's proposal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days after U.S. steps to ease military pressure and calls for talks aimed at ending hostilities.
The proposal was conveyed to Washington through intermediaries and calls for negotiations aimed at a permanent end to the conflict. It also seeks steps toward lifting the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.
A separate framework includes a possible regionwide ceasefire of up to 60 days, phased reopening of Hormuz and a timetable for negotiations. Another proposed arrangement would link the waterway’s reopening with Washington lifting its economic blockade.
The proposal has not been publicly released, and the Trump administration has not confirmed accepting any part of it. President Donald Trump said Sept. 22 that he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.
The Strait of Hormuz remains the central pressure point in the reported talks, linking Iran’s demand for economic relief with Washington’s push to restore maritime access.
