Iran proposes partial deal as US seeks full agreement

Iran has presented the United States with a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume broader talks aimed at reaching a final settlement to the war, based on a memorandum of understanding signed in June. Tehran suggested that the strait be opened within seven days after Washington agrees to the conditions, followed by negotiations to reach a definitive agreement. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed that Iran is not in a hurry to reach an agreement, indicating that the timing depends on the U.S. administration, and clarified that the plan is based on conditions no more than those outlined in the memorandum. Araqchi confirmed that Iran is awaiting a response from Washington and prefers to begin negotiations before the midterm elections in November, despite the Trump administration's rejection of returning to the memorandum. Instead, the U.S. is leaning towards a comprehensive deal that addresses both the strait and Iran’s nuclear program. Meanwhile, American positions indicate that Washington believes it is in a strong position regarding the Strait of Hormuz and is not in a rush to change its stance, with discussions ongoing through intermediaries.
