Araghchi: Iran’s Seven-Day Roadmap Could Reopen Strait of Hormuz, Revive Nuclear Talks
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran has put forward a seven-day plan aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in West Asia, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and restarting comprehensive talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, according to a New York Times report.
Speaking to reporters at the United Nations General Assembly, Araghchi said the proposal mirrors the memorandum of understanding reached between the US and Iran in June. He said Iran had introduced the plan to the United States through intermediaries, under which the Strait of Hormuz would reopen by the end of the seventh day if certain conditions are met, and talks would resume. He added that it would be preferable to reach a deal before the US midterm elections.
Iran’s conditions for diplomacy
In an earlier meeting with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, Araghchi said Iran had conveyed its conditions for advancing diplomacy to the American side, stressing that restoring security to the region requires an end to what he described as US interventionist and aggressive actions against Iran. He reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to pursuing diplomacy over its nuclear program, which Tehran maintains is peaceful, and said the US and Israeli military actions against Iran during the talks should not be overlooked.
Araghchi also criticized European countries, including Germany, accusing them of overlooking what he called US violations of international law, and said restoring confidence in the United Nations requires all countries to uphold the principles of the UN Charter.
Pezeshkian blames US for collapse of June agreement
In a separate interview with Fox News, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian blamed President Donald Trump and the American side for the failure to implement the settlement both countries had reached in June. Pezeshkian said the framework had been agreed upon and the Strait of Hormuz was open at the time, without any justification for closing it, but that the US then attacked Iran and killed its supreme leader, scientists and military commanders. He said Iran remains ready to move forward with dialogue.
Where things stand
The proposal comes as the war between the US and Iran enters its seventh month. While Trump has at times used language threatening Iran’s annihilation, a negotiated settlement is widely seen as the most viable path to ending the conflict, placing the next move in Washington’s hands.

The Iranians are are no saints. With the destruction during the Epic Fury and the wiping out of the real hard core fanatic leadership, their language has changed, under now the leadership of the President who is an educated heart surgeon with logical teachings. The crackpots are still there in IRGC, but they will come around when paying the army becomes difficult by the day.
