Iran Urges US to Accept Proposal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
Iran says the plan would restore shipping and resume talks after Washington lifts sanctions and a naval blockade, with $12 billion in frozen assets also at stake.
- On Saturday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced in Baghdad that Tehran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States lifts its naval blockade and oil export restrictions, with the proposal conveyed through Qatar.
- Iran closed the vital waterway, which handled one-fifth of global oil and LNG trade, following the start of an eight-month war; Tehran maintains maritime security cannot resume while military threats and blockades persist.

- If Washington accepts the conditions, the Strait could reopen within six days with talks resuming the following day, Araqchi said on Sunday, emphasizing the choice now rests with the United States.
- Resolving the broader conflict requires a "meaningful" reduction in uranium enrichment capacity to satisfy United States demands, Vance said earlier this month, a requirement that remains a significant hurdle to regional stability.
