Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian talks about proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz, says Iran would allow nuclear inspectors

Iran says it would honor commitments if Washington accepts a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks, officials said.

  • On Friday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced Iran submitted a seven-day roadmap to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, contingent on Washington lifting its naval blockade, waiving oil sanctions, and releasing $12bn in frozen Iranian assets.
  • The proposal mirrors a June 17 memorandum of understanding that collapsed within weeks after disputes over shipping control escalated; President Donald Trump declared the deal over in July following Iranian fire on vessels and subsequent U.S. strikes on Iranian territory.
  • International Atomic Energy Agency findings show Iran has stockpiled 440 kilograms of 60-percent enriched uranium while stonewalling U.N. monitors, yet Pezeshkian told Brennan Iran would allow inspectors, saying "That is absolutely correct."
  • Trump envoy Steve Witkoff met Araghchi on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly, calling the discussions lengthy and promising, while the White House told CNN the administration was having "positive and constructive discussions through mediators."
  • Analysts predict no breakthrough before U.S. midterm elections in November despite Araghchi saying Friday it would be preferable, as Pezeshkian cited an "atmosphere of distrust," noting the U.S. increases sanctions daily and fails to honor written commitments.
