Pezeshkian: Mojtaba Khamenei supports the new proposal regarding the Strait of Hormuz

If the United States agrees to the Iranian plan "and fulfills its obligations, we will do the same, and there will be no problem in this regard," according to Pezeshkian.

He announced the formation of a six-member team "including representatives from various organizations and bodies, including the army, parliament, and the government."

The President, who concluded a week of diplomatic talks on Friday on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York, added that this team "meets to discuss the issues at hand and has the authority to make decisions."

In this context, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented a new proposal to the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The vital waterway for global oil supplies is central to the conflict between the United States and Iran, which has reached a stalemate after about seven months since its outbreak.

While awaiting an official response from the United States, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials on Friday, that President Donald Trump rejected the proposal.

Media reports indicated that the new plan calls for a seven-day cessation of all hostilities in the Middle East, including in Lebanon.

Araghchi said the conditions are the same as those contained in a memorandum of understanding signed by Iran and the United States earlier this year.

The understanding, which collapsed in July, stipulated a cessation of hostilities on all fronts, the unfreezing of Iranian assets held since 1979, and the lifting of US sanctions that are stifling Iran's economy.
