Iran Awaits US Response to ‘Seven-Day’ Proposal Despite Trump’s Rejection

Iran is still awaiting a US response through mediators to its proposal for a ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

His remarks came despite President Donald Trump’s public announcement that he had rejected the plan, referred to as the “seven-day” proposal.

Araghchi said Tehran was waiting for the American position to be conveyed by the intermediaries. His comments distinguished that expected diplomatic response from Trump’s public rejection.

The proposal links a halt in fighting with reopening the strait. Araghchi’s remarks did not provide further details on the proposed arrangements or specify when Iran expected to hear back.
