Iran has proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic, according to its foreign minister. The offer, made through Qatar as an intermediary, aims to resume negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. The US has not yet confirmed the proposal, with officials stating discussions are ongoing.
The plan includes Tehran’s commitment to restore navigation through the strategic waterway, which is critical for global oil trade. Iranian officials emphasize that the proposal is conditional on a mutual agreement. Meanwhile, an Iraqi armed group leader has called on lawmakers to reject US pressure over the issue.
A US official told the BBC that “constructive discussions” are taking place, though no final decision has been reached. The offer comes amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear activities. Despite the proposal, an Iranian official reiterated that no nuclear concessions will be made.
The situation remains fluid as both sides await further developments in diplomatic talks. The reopening of Hormuz could have significant implications for regional stability and global energy markets.
