Iran has given the US a seven-day plan to open the Strait of Hormuz
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Iran has submitted a seven-day plan to the United States for opening the Strait of Hormuz, noting that it is committed to safe navigation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi toldreporters on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on September 25.

"Iran has communicated a specific seven-day plan to the United States through Qatar. If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened and normal shipping restored within seven days," Araghchi said.

The diplomat emphasized that Iran remains committed to safe navigation through Hormuz, but military action and coercion will not help ensure maritime security.

It was previously reported that Iranian authorities could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States complies with conditions, including easing military pressure and lifting the blockade of Iranian ports. Tehran has already conveyed its demands to Washington, but there has been no clear response.

On September 19, Iran communicated to the United States the terms for ending the military conflict. A new escalation in the Middle East began after the US resumed military operations against Iran on July 10. Four days later, Washington announced a complete naval blockade of Iranian ports and carried out several series of strikes against Iranian targets. In response to the US actions, Iranian forces again began striking American bases in the region.

Trump rejects Iran ceasefire proposal, expects to renew strikes after midterms — WSJ

US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal for a seven-day ceasefire and told aides he expects to resume bombing Iran after the November midterm elections, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing US officials.

The officials say that Trump is reluctant to resume major combat operations however, with the scope of the envision strikes unclear, while noting his views could change and that he could also end up being swayed by the midterm results.
