Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced a proposal to end the ongoing war with the United States and reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz within seven days, provided specific conditions are met by Washington.
Speaking to international media outlets—including The New York Times and The Guardian—during his visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, Araghchi detailed Tehran's roadmap for de-escalation. The Iranian proposal calls for a complete, week-long cessation of all military conflict across the Middle East, including Lebanon and Yemen. Key demands include the unfreezing of at least $12 billion in Iranian assets held abroad, the lifting of economic sanctions on Iranian oil exports, and the termination of the US naval blockade against Iran.
Araghchi stated that upon the seventh day of a sustained ceasefire, Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz for commercial navigation. He added that Iran is currently awaiting a formal response from Washington, noting that China fully supports the initiative amid Chinese President Xi Jinping's bilateral talks with US President Donald Trump this week. The proposal follows high-level discussions in New York between Araghchi and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
