Iranian Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Araghchi has said Tehran has offered a seven-day plan to end the conflict in West Asia, with the proposal also seeking the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of comprehensive talks on Iran’s nuclear programme.
Araghchi made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, according to The New York Times report. He said the proposal was similar to the memorandum of understanding (MoU) reached between the US and Iran in June this year. Earlier, during a meeting with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, Araghchi said Iran had conveyed its “reasonable conditions and requirements” to the American side for advancing diplomacy.
He stressed that restoring security in the region required an end to what he described as US interventionist and aggressive actions against Iran. The Iranian foreign minister also reiterated Tehran’s commitment to diplomacy over its peaceful nuclear programme.
“We did reach an agreement with your president, that agreement was signed, and based on that, we are willing and still wish to move forward.
He said no party could ignore Iran’s good faith in the negotiations, as well as what he described as US and Israeli military aggression against Iran during the talks, while portraying Iran as responsible for insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz. We are ready,” he told Fox News. The choice now rests with the United States,” he said.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Fox News, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian blamed US President Donald Trump and the American side for the failure to implement the negotiated settlement that both sides had reached in June this year. And the framework was agreed upon. We had not closed the Strait of Hormuz; it was open, without any legal justification or framework…They attacked us. They assassinated and martyred our esteemed supreme leader; our scientists are military commanders and government. The problem is that America, instead of conducting dialogue, they descend into the arena by bombing us first, by blocking every pathway. The Iranian assertion puts the ball firmly in Donald Trump’s court. he knows that a settlement would be the best way to end a conflict that is now in its seventh month While the US President has indulged in rhetoric threatening the annihilation of Iran.
Earlier reporting noted: Iran has offered the United States a seven-day plan to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz and resume stalled talks on its nuclear programme, with foreign minister Abbas Araghchi saying the next move now rests with Washington. Earlier reporting noted: “If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened, a normal maritime passage restored within seven days. Earlier reporting noted: Under the proposal, Iran would reopen the waterway if the United States lifts its naval blockade of Iranian ports, waives sanctions on Iranian oil sales and observes a ceasefire that includes Lebanon, according to Araghchi’s remarks to reporters outside the United Nations Security Council on Friday.
