Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the Islamic Republic of Iran presented a plan earlier this year aimed at resolving the existing disagreements and ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
Araghchi was quoted as saying that the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments, could be reopened within seven days if the United States accepts Iran's proposal.
No further details were given on the specific terms of the plan or on what response, if any, Washington has provided so far.
The Strait of Hormuz, which separates the Gulf from the Gulf of Oman, is one of the world's most important routes for the transport of oil and gas, and any disruption to traffic through it has historically had significant effects on global energy markets.
The remarks, reported via Russian state media, come amid a prolonged period of tension between Iran and the United States. TASS did not specify where or when Araghchi made the comments.
