Iran has offered the United States a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, with the country's foreign minister saying the choice rests with the US on whether to accept the proposal, according to Al Jazeera.
The proposed timeline reportedly links the reopening of the strategically important waterway to steps aimed at de-escalating the broader conflict between Iran and the United States, though the report did not detail the specific conditions attached to the seven-day roadmap beyond the reopening of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important routes for oil and gas shipments, and disruptions to passage through it have drawn concern from Gulf states and international shipping interests amid the ongoing hostilities between Iran and the US.
It was not immediately clear whether US officials have formally responded to the proposal. The offer follows related reports of a separate Iranian ceasefire proposal, which the US was said to be weighing alongside domestic political considerations.
The developments reflect continuing, if uncertain, diplomatic contacts between Washington and Tehran even as military hostilities between the two countries have continued.
