Iranian Foreign Minister Erakchi stated that he presented a 7-day plan to the USA for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Erakchi stated that they presented a 7-day "definitive" plan to the USA through mediators to open the Strait of Hormuz to ship traffic, and said that the decision belongs to Washington.

Erakçi, in his statement to the press at the United Nations (UN), stated that more than 5 thousand people, including women and children, lost their lives in the attacks of the USA and Israel, and stated that the USA "used economic pressure as a weapon" against his country.

Blaming the USA for the violation of the memorandum of understanding between the parties and the aggression, Erakçi said, "Iran, through Qatar, presented a definitive 7-day plan to the USA. If the necessary conditions are met, the Strait can be reopened and normal sea navigation can begin within 7 days. Now the decision is before the USA. Iran will not accept threats and coercion." he said.

Erakçi stated that if the USA takes the decision in question and fulfills the conditions, which can take approximately 4-5 days, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened on the 6th day and negotiations can begin on the 7th day, and noted that the conditions in the plan presented to Washington are not new and that they are all included in the memorandum of understanding signed between the parties.

Iranian Foreign Minister emphasized that the Bosphorus could be opened if the USA "shows the necessary seriousness".
