Iran proposes reopening Strait of Hormuz within seven days

Iran has submitted a proposal to the United States to end their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, its foreign minister told media outlets in New York.
 

“If certain conditions are met, the strait will be open within seven days and talks will start,” Abbas Araghchi, who is in the US for the UN General Assembly, told media outlets including the New York Times and The Guardian.
 

Japanese news agency, Kyodo was the first to report the proposal, citing a senior Iranian official on Tuesday. Iranian media, however, denied the Kyodo report, while authorities in Tehran have not clarified their position.


Araghchi also met for talks on Tuesday with US President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff. Iran has previously set out seven conditions for ending the war and reopening the strait.


According to Araghchi, as quoted by the New York Times, the latest plan calls for a cessation of all hostilities in the Middle East for seven days, including in Lebanon. It also calls for the release of frozen Iranian assets estimated to be worth at least $12 billion, as well as the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil and an end to the US naval blockade of Iran.


Araghchi said he was waiting for a US response to the plan and maintained that China supported the proposal. Chinese President Xi Jinping is visiting the United States this week where he is meeting with Trump for talks.
 


Hossein Mohebi, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards, the ideological arm of Iran’s military, told AFP in an exclusive interview on Tuesday that ending hostilities in Yemen was also among Tehran’s demands.


The US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding in June that aimed to end the war, reopen the strait and launch talks on Iran’s nuclear program . But the deal broke down shortly afterwards when Iran fired on commercial ships in Hormuz that it accused of deviating from its approved route through the waterway.


Iran requires ships to obtain authorization before passage, citing security and sovereignty reasons. Ships that refuse to comply are regularly targeted, while the United States sporadically bombs Iranian coastal areas in retaliation.

    Iran's proxy, the Houtjis, have died missiles into Mecca. The Saudi authorities called that "crossing the red line" Nigerian Muslims supporting Iran because you felt US, being a predominantly Christian nation is fighting an Islamic republic of Iran. You are wrong! Evil is evil, whether Christian or Muslim. We must condemn what is evil. How can a nation kill over 50,000 of its own citizens for protesting against corruption in their government and economic hardship and you think God will not repay their evil with evil. Have you not heard that there is no peace for the wicked. Now that they have unleashed their proxy on your holy land such that, even the Kaaba is at risk of being blown up. Do you still hail their "courage and bravery" That wad how you celebrated when sharia was introduced in Zamfara when a Cherishing man, Obj, was president. Instead of you to openly condemn an anormally in a multi religious society like ours, you tacitly rejoiced that your religious laws were being fostered on everyone and"Islam was taking root and dominating in Nigeria". Look at how that singular act has turned northern Nigeria to a hell hole where all mentally deranged Islamic militants and extremists (from Mali, Libya, Sudan, ME) more come to terrorize the people and fight Nigerian security forces killing hundreds of thousands. Yet, many of you have made up your mind to go to your grave believing a LIE. Lord have mercy. You better fight for your soul "more that you have life, there's no repentance or "and they wanted me o" in death. No Christ, eternal suffering in hell. Pray fervently and consistently to the lord to show you is this is true or not.
