Iran has offered to reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States accepts its conditions for resolving the ongoing dispute.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had clearly communicated its requirements for restoring security in the waterway. He added that the proposed plan could lead to the reopening of the strait within seven days after Washington accepts the terms.
The proposal was presented during the United Nations General Assembly and was later conveyed to the United States through Qatari mediators. Washington has since responded to the proposal, although the two sides remain divided over several issues.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until seven conditions linked to a June interim agreement are fulfilled. He described Tehran’s position as firm and rejected what he characterized as attempts to delay negotiations or impose unilateral demands.
Iranian officials have indicated that the conditions include measures related to the US naval blockade, sanctions on Iranian oil exports, frozen Iranian funds and a halt to military hostilities. Tehran has also linked the reopening of the waterway to broader diplomatic arrangements.
The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial international shipping route and carries a significant share of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Its continued closure has therefore raised concerns about energy supplies and international markets.
Araghchi said Iran preferred diplomacy but warned that Tehran was prepared to respond if Washington pursued another military approach. Meanwhile, Qatar continues efforts to facilitate communication between the two sides as negotiations remain unresolved.
