Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to meet in New York with mediators to discuss Tehran's proposal regarding the Strait of Hormuz and the possibility of resuming talks with the United States.
According to the Iranian news agency ISNA, no American representative will attend the meeting. The parties are expected to review the latest proposals and positions regarding the situation, while mediators are trying to keep open the indirect channel of communication between Tehran and Washington.
At the center of the discussions is a plan presented by Iran, which envisages the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, if certain conditions set by Tehran are met. According to the plan, the US should lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports, ease sanctions on oil sales and release frozen Iranian assets. Negotiations on a broader agreement, including the nuclear issue, could then resume.
Araghchi said Iran had conveyed the proposal to the US side through mediators in New York. According to him, Tehran is still awaiting a final response from Washington.
"We saw the initial reaction of the American president, but the mediators have not yet conveyed anything to us," Araghchi said, adding that Iran will decide on next steps after receiving a response.
He has also insisted that Iran's conditions remain unchanged and that any step towards reopening Hormuz is linked to their fulfillment.
On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has stated that he has rejected the Iranian proposal. However, according to recent reports, Washington and Tehran may continue indirect communication through mediators in the coming days.
The Iranian proposal aims to create a graduated mechanism, initially ending hostilities and easing American measures, then reopening the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic and in parallel resuming negotiations between the two countries.
Meanwhile, mediators are holding separate contacts with the parties in an attempt to find a compromise formula. According to Reuters, the new discussions are expected to focus on a revised version of the seven-day plan presented by Iran last week.
