Iran awaits U.S. response after Trump rejects Strait of Hormuz proposal

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that Tehran is awaiting a final official response from the United States through mediators following President Donald Trump's rejection of an Iranian proposal. The rejected ‘7-day plan’ proposed that Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within one week if the U.S. lifts maritime blockades, eases oil export sanctions, and releases frozen Iranian assets.

Araghchi emphasized that Iran's conditions for reopening the strategic waterway are clear and non-negotiable, though he maintained that the country remains open to diplomatic solutions. He also defended Iran's uranium enrichment at 60%, asserting it is legal under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) for peaceful purposes.

Despite the rejection, President Trump indicated that additional negotiations are expected to take place this week, with Qatar acting as a mediator to deliver compromise proposals. While the U.S. maintains that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is a core objective, mediators are reportedly pressuring Iran to make concessions on its nuclear program to revive ceasefire discussions.
