Iran's foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi told Iran's official news agency IRNA on Sunday that Tehran's proposed seven‑day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remains on the table, pending a U.S. response.
Araghchi made the comments on the sidelines of the 52nd session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Baghdad. He said Iran's conditions for ceasing hostilities and reopening the strait were "completely clear" and had already been submitted to the United States under the seven‑day plan, according to Xinhua News Agency.
The minister added that Washington had presented its views on the plan, which Tehran is now reviewing. "If they (the United States) meet those conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened on the sixth day, and negotiations will resume on the seventh," Araghchi said.
Araghchi emphasized that Iran's conditions are neither extraordinary nor unusual, describing them as the same commitments the United States had already made in a peace memorandum of understanding and other negotiations. He also warned that Iran would not bow to threats and remains ready to defend itself while pursuing diplomacy.
