US and Iran Resume Indirect Talks via Qatar Over Revised 7-Day Strait of Hormuz Proposal
US and Iranian officials engage in indirect negotiations mediated by Qatar to establish a phased framework for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Following seven months of heightened conflict and escalating tensions in the Middle East, the United States and Iran have resumed indirect diplomatic discussions through Qatari intermediaries.

According to officials familiar with the negotiations, talks held on Monday (September 28, 2026) centered around a revised draft of a seven-day proposal submitted by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi during the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81) in New York. Under the terms conveyed to Washington via Qatari channels, Tehran offered to lift its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and restore commercial maritime traffic within seven days, contingent upon the US easing military pressure and naval restrictions. Although US President Donald Trump initially dismissed the framework, he subsequently indicated that American envoys would engage through mediated channels. Diplomatic sources confirm that any potential agreement will hinge on a refined, phased version of Tehran's seven-day proposal.
