The Iranian proposal was made during the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York this week. According to NPR, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi conveyed a "concrete seven-day plan" to reopen the strait through Qatar. The proposal also called for resuming negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
The Strait of Hormuz was initially closed by Iran after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. Repeated closures have caused major disruptions to the world's oil supply, according to Los Angeles Times. The Iranian proposal is similar to a "memorandum of understanding" agreed upon by the U.S. and Iran in June, which collapsed due to disputes over vague wording.
The memorandum gave Iran relief from a U.S. naval blockade, eased sanctions, and freed up frozen Iranian assets. In return, Iran promised not to seek a nuclear weapon and said it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The June agreement fell apart after disputes over who would control the strait.
