Iran proposes reopening Strait of Hormuz within seven days if U.S. eases pressure

Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, contingent upon the United States easing military pressure and lifting the blockade on Iranian ports. This proposal was reportedly delivered to the U.S. through mediators on September 16 as part of an effort to end hostilities and revive diplomatic dialogue.

An Iranian official stated that while President Masoud Pezeshkian is attending the UN General Assembly in New York, he will not hold a direct meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. However, the Iranian delegation in New York maintains full authority to pursue diplomatic engagement, and details regarding a potential agreement to end hostilities could be discussed via mediators.

The proposal comes amid heightened tensions, following warnings from Iran's Central Military Command regarding potential U.S. military operations supported by regional allies. Tehran has indicated it would respond to such operations “without restrictions or considerations.”
