Iran announces presenting 'seven-day plan' to United States
Iran announced on Friday that it had presented the United States a plan to end the conflict that has lasted about seven months. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said from the UN that Iran presented a concrete seven-day plan and that the decision now rests with Washington, with the period starting once the US accepts it. Araghchi met with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, but the talks yielded no progress.
Why it matters: This proposal directly touches the briefing's energy-security theme, since the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is conditioned on US acceptance.
