Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated his country’s commitment to a “seven‑day plan” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after the United States rejected the proposal, according to a report from Yahoo News.
Araghchi’s plan, outlined in recent diplomatic discussions, calls for the restoration of shipping traffic through the strategic waterway within a week. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow passage between Iran and Oman that serves as a vital conduit for global oil shipments.
The United States, however, did not accept the Iranian proposal. While the specific reasons for the rejection were not disclosed in the source material, the U.S. stance contrasts with Tehran’s push to quickly resume normal navigation.
Despite the American dismissal, Iran’s foreign ministry said the nation remains firm on its timetable and will continue to pursue the seven‑day reopening schedule.
The strait handles a significant share of the world’s petroleum flow, and any interruption can have broader implications for international energy markets.
