Iran says six-day Hormuz proposal remains on table, urges US to accept conditions
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that Tehran's proposal to the United States on reopening the Strait of Hormuz remains on the table, and called on Washington to accept Iran's conditions as a prelude to resuming talks between the two countries. According to Iranian media, the proposal would allow the strait to reopen within six days of US acceptance of the conditions set by Tehran, with negotiations resuming on the seventh day. Araghchi did not give details of the Iranian conditions, and the statement contained no American response to the proposal.
Why it matters: By keeping the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz conditional on US acceptance of undisclosed terms, Tehran links freedom of navigation and energy security to the wider de-escalation negotiations with Washington.
