Iran has proposed a seven-day plan to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said. The proposal was conveyed to Washington through Qatar, and the strait would reopen within seven days if necessary conditions are met. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pressed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to resolve the Middle East conflict through dialogue and negotiations, while respecting international law and navigational rights around the strait. The United States has not publicly responded. The proposal follows the Feb. 28 start of a war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran, which Tehran said killed thousands of people and prompted missile and drone attacks across the region and the effective closure of the strategic energy route.
