Iran presents US with plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz and end war

Iran has reportedly presented the US government with a plan to end the ongoing war, proposing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within seven days under unspecified conditions, according to US media reports. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi announced the proposal during the UN week in New York, stating it could be implemented immediately upon US approval. The specific conditions remain undisclosed, though past Iranian demands have included releasing frozen assets, ending the war, and lifting blockades. The US confirmed "positive and constructive talks" through intermediaries. Iranian President Massud Peseschkian also signaled willingness to hand over highly enriched uranium under international law, while both leaders exchanged sharp rhetoric at the UN. The seven-month conflict has strained both nations economically and politically.
