Iran’s seven-day Hormuz proposal reportedly rejected by Trump
Tehran says it sent Washington a conditional plan through Qatar. The reported rejection has no direct US confirmation in the available material.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran conveyed a plan to the United States through Qatar to restore normal passage through the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, if necessary conditions were met.
The Wall Street Journal reported that President Donald Trump rejected the proposal, citing US officials familiar with the matter. The available account contains no direct US confirmation of the reported decision.
Earlier media reports listed a regional ceasefire, the release of frozen Iranian assets, sanctions relief and an end to the US naval blockade among the possible terms. The full formal proposal and its conditions have not been established in the available material.
Araghchi said the choice rested with Washington. Iran’s position is that it retains sovereign rights over passage through the strait; Tehran says ships need its authorisation, citing security and sovereignty.
A June memorandum between Iran and the United States aimed to end the war, reopen the strait and begin nuclear talks, but later broke down. No agreement or reopening has been reported.
