Iran Says Hormuz Strait Could Reopen Within Seven Days Under Plan

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz could reopen within seven days if the United States accepts a proposed plan, potentially easing a major chokepoint for global oil shipping.

Araghchi described the proposal as a “seven-day plan.” The statement makes reopening conditional on U.S. acceptance; it does not establish that an agreement has been reached or provide a start date for the seven-day period.

The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and is a key route for oil shipments. The next step depends on whether the U.S. accepts the proposal.
