Iran says seven-day Hormuz plan already sent to US via mediators

An informed source has rejected reports by the Saudi news outlet Al-Arabiya concerning the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as a lie and fabrication. The source said the outlet has a pattern of false reporting on Iran. The Al-Arabiya reports had alleged that Iran offered to reopen the strategic waterway in exchange for the lifting of the US maritime blockade.

According to the source, Iran does not accept any arrangement based on the equation of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the blockade. Tehran is instead circumventing the restrictions through its own methods and will ultimately break them, the source added. The informed official emphasized that Iran's seven-day plan, which includes Tehran's demands for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, had previously been transferred to the American side through mediators. The source said that until all of Iran's demands are met, including the removal of disruptions to Iranian ports and shipping, the insecurity imposed by the American side in the Strait of Hormuz will not be eliminated.

The source stated that the whole world knows very well that the cause of insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz is the aggressive and interventionist actions of the United States. For this reason, stopping these illegal actions is a common demand of the countries of the region and the world, the source said.

The remarks refer to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, reached in June after the US-Israeli aggression that began in late February. The agreement had called for an end to hostilities on all fronts, the lifting of the illegal US naval blockade on Iranian ports, restoration of commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and subsequent negotiations on other issues.

The source's comments also follow reported mediation efforts involving figures such as Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Asim Munir, though the report did not elaborate on the details of those contacts. The Strait of Hormuz remains a central point of contention, with Iran linking any reopening to the fulfillment of its stated conditions. According to Mehr News, the informed source maintained that the seven-day plan had already been conveyed to the American side through mediators and that Tehran continues to pursue its own means of addressing the restrictions.
