NEW YORK — Iran has submitted a proposal to the United States to end their war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, its foreign minister told media outlets in New York.

“If certain conditions are met, the strait will be open within seven days and talks will start,” Abbas Araghchi, who is in the US for the UN General Assembly, told media outlets including the *New York Times* and *The Guardian*.

Japanese news agency Kyodo was the first to report the proposal, citing a senior Iranian official on Tuesday.

Iranian media, however, denied the Kyodo report, while authorities in Tehran have not clarified their position.

Araghchi also held talks on Tuesday with US President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff.

Iran has previously set out seven conditions for ending the war and reopening the strait.

According to Araghchi, as quoted by the *New York Times*, the latest plan calls for a seven-day cessation of hostilities across the Middle East, including in Lebanon.

It also calls for the release of frozen Iranian assets estimated at at least US$12 billion (RM48.9 billion), the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil and an end to the US naval blockade of Iran.
