Iran proposes a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in 7 days if the US meets its conditions

Araghchi laid out the proposal to reporters outside the U.N. Security Council in New York. The deal would also restart stalled nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, he said.

The offer ties together three separate demands into a single package, linking a regional flashpoint like Lebanon to a maritime dispute that affects oil shipments worldwide. The Strait of Hormuz is a chokepoint for global oil traffic, so any resumption there ripples far beyond Iran and the U.S.

For anyone watching energy markets or the broader standoff between Tehran and Washington, this marks a real shift in posture. Iran is putting a public timeline on the table instead of leaving the standoff open-ended. Whether Washington agrees to any of the three conditions remains uncertain, and nothing about the offer suggests it happens automatically.

A week is a tight window for a dispute this tangled, and Araghchi didn't say what happens if Washington ignores the clock entirely.
