Iran urges US to meet demands for ending war and reopening Strait of Hormuz
ndtv.com —
Iran urged the United States on Tuesday to meet its demands to end their eight-month war, proposing a plan to reopen the blockaded Strait of Hormuz in exchange for specific concessions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the conflict cannot be resolved militarily or through sanctions, emphasizing that diplomacy and respect are the only solution. Tehran's proposal includes ending the war, unfreezing assets, and lifting oil sanctions. President Donald Trump cited "positive momentum" toward ending the conflict after meeting Qatar's prime minister, though he noted further strikes were "quite unlikely." Qatar and Pakistan are leading diplomatic efforts following the war's outbreak in late February.
