Tehran’s proposal remains on the table, but Washington must meet its conditions, the Iranian foreign minister has warned
The US risks “dire consequences” if it escalates the war, Iran’s Foreign Ministry has warned, urging Washington to accept its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and pave the way for further negotiations.
The warning followed American strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island near the strait on Sunday night, according to local officials. Air defense and radar installations on Qeshm were also targeted last week.
Tehran’s proposal remains on the table, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday, urging the White House to choose diplomacy.
”Or choose war, and see our alert and battle-hardened Warriors rain down hell,” he wrote on X.
Tehran’s conditions include lifting the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, easing sanctions, releasing frozen assets, and ending hostilities on all fronts. Under the proposal, Washington would implement the initial measures on the first day, followed by the reopening of the waterway on the second. Before the war, about a fifth of the world’s oil passed through the strait.
