Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters in New York that Iran had sent Washington, through mediators, a seven-day plan: if the U.S. ends its naval blockade, lifts sanctions on Iranian oil, releases about $12 billion in frozen assets and accepts a halt to fighting that includes Lebanon, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz on day six and start talks on a final deal on day seven.
Why it matters
The terms largely mirror June's 14-point memorandum, which collapsed within weeks, so the test is whether Washington accepts lifting the blockade before the strait fully reopens.
