Sept 25 (Reuters) – Iran has given the United States a “concrete” ​seven-day plan to ‌open the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the choice now rests with ‌the ​US,  Iran’s Foreign ⁠Minister Abbas Araqchi ⁠told reporters at the United Nations on Friday.

“If the necessary conditions ​are met, the strait can be ⁠reopened, a ⁠normal maritime passage ​restored within seven days. ​The choice now rests ‌with the United States,” he said.

“The actions that the United ⁠States should should take are not new. They are ⁠all ‌already in the ⁠MOU,” he said, ​referring ‌to the memorandum of ​understanding ⁠that Iran and the United States agreed in June.
