Qatar proposes reopening Strait of Hormuz to end US-Iran war

Qatar has proposed a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the eight-month US-Iran war, despite reports of fresh US strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island. The proposal includes lifting the US blockade and releasing frozen Iranian assets. Under the Qatari plan, Iran would allow IAEA nuclear inspectors into its facilities and reopen the strait to commercial traffic, while reportedly not having to give up its nuclear stockpiles. The deal also involves Oman in jointly managing the waterway's future administration. Diplomatic efforts remain stalled, with Iran demanding practical US steps beyond "paper commitments." Tehran has its own seven-day plan rejected by Trump, while Iranian media reported new missile strikes on Qeshm Island on Saturday, though the US has not confirmed any attack.
