bild.de (German) —

Iran has reportedly offered the US a proposal to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz within seven days, according to US media reports, amid ongoing negotiations behind the scenes at the UN summit in New York. The offer, delivered via mediators to President Donald Trump's administration, was confirmed by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The White House acknowledged "positive and constructive" talks, though specific Iranian conditions remain undisclosed, with past demands including frozen asset releases and lifting US blockades. Trump faces mounting political pressure ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, with approval ratings at a career-low of 32 percent. US diesel prices hit record highs last week, prompting consideration of an export ban, while both leaders exchanged sharp rhetoric in their UN addresses.
