New York:Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced that Iran has presented a plan to the United States detailing how the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened within seven days, contingent upon specific conditions being met.

According to Namibia Press Agency , Araghchi revealed that the proposal was communicated to the United States through Qatar. The timeline would commence once Washington agrees to the plan. The plan requires the United States to undertake certain actions, which Iran expects might take four to five days to complete. By the sixth day, the strait would be reopened, and by the seventh day, discussions would begin with the U.S. on a final agreement concerning mutually agreed topics.

Araghchi emphasized that the required actions by the United States are not new, as they are already part of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the two nations' leaders in June. He stated that the choice now lies with the United States and reaffirmed Iran's stance against coercion and pressure, asserting that Iran will not relinquish its sovereign rights.

The MoU signed on June 18 aimed to end the regional conflict, including in Lebanon, with negotiations planned within 60 days to reach a final agreement. This period concluded on August 17, but recent tensions have left the outcome of these discussions uncertain.
