Iran's foreign minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, stated that the decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz rests with the United States, according to reports from Al Jazeera. The proposal, which aims to restore shipping through the strategic waterway within seven days, was conveyed to Washington.
The United States, however, has rejected the plan. US President Donald Trump, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, has declined Iran's offer and indicated he expects to resume military actions after the November congressional elections. This stance has left the future of the strait uncertain.
Iranian officials have expressed confidence that the plan could be implemented quickly if the US agrees. The strait is a vital route for global oil trade, and its reopening could have significant economic implications. The situation remains under close watch as both nations continue their diplomatic efforts.
