At OIC meeting, Araghchi puts Iran’s 7-day Hormuz plan on the table: will Trump bend the knee?

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could resume within seven days if Tehran’s conditions were met, reiterating a proposal conveyed to Washington through Qatar. Speaking at an OIC foreign ministers’ meeting in Baghdad on October 17, he said “the choice now rests with the United States” and argued that threats and military pressure would not resolve the crisis.
